=========================================================================================================
The Commander, Naval Telecommunications Command (COMNAVTELCOM) was located at 4401 Massachusetts
Ave. NW, at the Naval Security Station (NAVSECSTA) in Washington DC.

In December, 1990, the Commander, Naval Telecommunications Command (COMNAVTELCOM), located at the 
Naval District Washington's Nebraska Avenue Complex in Northwest Washington DC, was renamed the Naval 
Computer and Telecommunications Command (COMNAVCOMTELCOM), Washington DC.

COMNAVCOMTELCOM was an Echelon II command in an active, operational status under the direct command 
of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO). The CNO's coordinator for NAVCOMTELCOM was the Director, 
Space and Electronic Warfare Directorate (N6). COMNAVCOMTELCOM provided administrative management 
and operational direction to the following echelon III commands: three (3) Naval Computer and 
Telecommunications Area Master Stations (NCTAMS Lant in Norfolk, VA, NCTAMS PAC in Honolulu, HI,
and NCTAMS EURCENT in Naples, Italy); Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station (NCTS) Guam;
the Director, Communications Security Material System (DCMS), in Washington DC; the Headquarters, 
Navy-Marine Corps MARS Radio Station; and the Naval Electromagnetic Spectrum Center (NAVEMSCEN),
Washington, DC.

The mission of COMNAVCOMTELCOM was to develop, control, and disseminate fleet and shore operating 
procedures and interface criteria to ensure compatibility for legacy Defense Message System (DMS) 
automated communication systems and end-user applications with newly introduced systems. 
COMNAVCOMTELCOM implemented Navy Information Resources (IR) Management policy within the claimancy. 
COMNAVCOMTELCOM provided, operated, and maintained, as required, all Navy ashore communications 
resources and all non-tactical information resources for command, control, and administration of 
the Navy and those elements of the Defense Communications System assigned to the Navy. 
COMNAVCOMTELCOM adviseed Commander, Naval Space Command of validated communication requirements 
that demanded development or modification of satellite communication systems. COMNAVCOMTELCOM 
formulated policy on and exercised authoritative control over the Navy Communications Security 
(COMSEC) Material System, and reviewed or initiated actions in cases of loss or compromise of CMS 
distribution material. 

Telecommunications included all types of information systems in which electronic or electromagnetic 
signals were used to transmit information between or among points. The Naval Telecommunications 
System (NTS) was comprised of all the end terminal processing equipment, transmission, switching, 
cryptographic, and control devices used to transmit operational information in the Navy. 

The mission of Naval communications is to provide and maintain reliable, secure, and rapid 
communications, based on war requirements, to meet the needs of Naval operating forces. Naval 
communications must also satisfy the requirements of the Defense Communications System (DCS) 
and the National Communications System (NCS). 

The Naval Communications Processing and Routing System (NAVCOMPARS) was an automated system 
that served as the interface between the Automatic Digiatal Network (AUTODIN) or other networks 
ashore and operational units of the Navy. There were five NAVCOMPARS sites: NCTAMS EASTPAC, 
NCTAMS WESTPAC, NCTAMS MED, NCTAMS LANT, and NAVCOMMTELSTA Stockton, CA. The primary purpose 
of NAVCOMPARS was to provide security, speed, and systems compatibility for the Naval 
Telecommunications System (NTS). 

The NTS provided electrical and optical communications from the Commander in Chief and Naval 
Commanders down to all Naval forces under its command. The NTS was used primarily to exercise 
command and control over the Naval operating forces; not the shore establishment. Most shore 
establishments were served through the Defense Communications System (DCS). There were overlapping 
portions of each system, where necessary. Operational direction and management control of the 
assigned elements of the NTS were the responsibility of the Commander, Naval Computer and 
Telecommunications Command (COMNAVCOMTELCOM). 

In Naval communications, COMNAVCOMTELCOM determined the responsibilities of each of the various 
commanders, whether a Fleet Commander or the Commanding Officer of a ship. Direction and control of 
all Naval fleet broadcasts, ship shore, air-ground, and other direct fleet-support telecommunications 
were assigned to the Fleet Commanders in Chief (FLTCINCs). All Pacific Fleet Naval broadcasts were 
under the operational direction and control of the Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet (CINCPACFLT). 
The same applied to Atlantic Fleet Naval broadcasts. These broadcasts were under the operational 
direction and control of the Commander in Chief, Atlantic Fleet (CINCLANTFLT). 

Fleet Commanders in Chief were responsible for the adequacy of communications to satisfy the needs 
of their respective fleets. They, in turn, assign broad communications responsibilities in the 
form of Fleet Operation Orders (OPORDs). OPORDs were to be complied with at every level down 
through individual Commanding Officers of operating ships. The Commanding Officers used only those 
portions of the Fleet Commander's communications OPORD that affect them. In this simple, yet direct, 
manner, the NTS was administered at every operational level in the fleet, according to that ship's 
mission and communication needs. 

With the merging of Automated Information Systems (AIS) and telecommunications, the mission and 
responsibilities of COMNAVCONTELCOM greatly increased. Due to changes in the claimancy of NAVCOMTELCOM, 
each of the former NAVCAMS was redesignated as a NCTAMS, and merged with a NARDAC. The four NCTAMS were 
NCTAMS EASTPAC, Honolulu, Hawaii; NCTAMS LANT, Norfolk, Virginia; NCTAMS WESTPAC, Guam; and NCTAMS MED, 
Naples, Italy. The world was divided into four Naval Communications Areas (NAVCOMMAREAs): Western Pacific 
(WESTPAC), Eastern Pacific (EASTPAC), Atlantic (LANT), and Mediterranean (MED). All communications 
activities within any of these geographical areas were organized to operate under the operational control 
of a NCTAMS. Those communications stations that did not merge with an AIS activity became Naval Computer 
and Telecommunications Stations (NCTS) or Naval Computer and Telecommunications Detachments (NCTDs). 

On December 1, 1990, NAVCAMS EASTPAC and NARDAC Pearl Harbor merged to form the Naval Computer and 
Telecommunications Area Master Station, Eastern Pacific (NCTAMS EASTPAC). The command was again renamed 
on October 20, 1997; when NCTAMS EASTPAC and NCTAMS WESTPAC merged. The new name, Naval Computer and 
Telecommunications Area Master Station, Pacific, better reflected the command's regional operating area. 
The former NCTAMS WESTPAC at Guam became a Naval Computer and Telecommunication Station (NCTS). 

In the Summer of 1997, the U.S. Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station, Mediterranean 
(NCTAMS MED), Naples IT, area of responsibility was enlarged to include U.S. Navy telecommunications 
facilities in Bahrain and in Diego Garcia. On October 1, 1997, the region's name changed from 
Mediterranean to Europe Central, reflecting the wider area of responsibility. NCTAMS Med became the 
U.S. Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station, Europe Central (NCTAMS EURCENT), 
Naples IT. 

The world is now divided into three Naval Communications Areas (NAVCOMMAREAs): Pacific (PAC), Atlantic 
(LANT), and Central Europe (EURCENT). All communications activities within any of these geographical 
areas are organized to operate under the operational control of a NCTAMS. These Master Stations are 
the major telecommunications sites within a NAVCOMMAREA, and are the primary keying stations for that 
area. NAVCOMMAREAs are the entry points for Navy Tactical Satellite Systems and also operate and 
maintain one or more Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS) terminals. The three NCTAMS have, 
as part of their organization, a Fleet Telecommunications Operations Center (FTOC). The FTOC is the 
focal Point for fleet communications support. To support the operating forces of each Fleet Commander 
in Chief (FLTCINC), the authority to exercise operational direction over all NAVTELCOMs is delegated 
on an area basis to the Commanding Offiers of the Master Stations. Operational direction is decentralized 
down to the Commanding Officers of the three NCTAMS. These Commanding Officers report to and are 
immediately responsible to the FLTCINC. COMNAVCOMTELCOM, however, exercised overall operational direction 
to assure integration of the worldwide system, taking into consideration the requirements and priorities 
of other FLTCINCs and/or higher authority. The appropriate Fleet Operational Telecommunications Program 
(FOTP) manual provided specific information. Within the various NAVCOMMAREAs were alternate NCTAMS. 
They coordinated control of communications under the direction of the primary NCTAMS. 

The Navy decided that the public infrastructure for information technology (IT) was mature enough 
that they could depend on it, rather than own and operate a separte Navy system. The Navy also 
realized that the IT infrastructure could be treated like a utility that someone else capitalized, 
operated and maintained. Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) is a Department of the Navy program to 
deliver comprehensive, end-to-end information services enterprise-wide to the United States Navy 
and United States Marine Corps through a common computing and communications environment. This 
environment will enhance system and software interoperability and enhance information exchange 
capability for garrisoned and deployed forces as well as individual users. NMCI includes everything 
necessary to ensure the transmission of voice, video, and data information. It includes associated 
capital infrastructure improvements necessary to meet quality-of-service requirements, as well as 
maintenance, training and operation of that infrastructure. NMCI work will be performed at more 
than 300 Navy and Marine Corps bases located across the United States, Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, 
Puerto Rico, Japan, Guam, Hawaii and Iceland for an estimated 360,000 Navy and Marine Corps 
uniform and civilian work force members. 

The Defense Message System (DMS) has been established as a joint program to integrate common 
user, organizational and individual messaging and directory services. DMS provides writer-
to-reader messaging services to and from worldwide DoD locations, including tactical deployed 
users, and other designated Federal Government organizations; as well as Allied users and Defense 
contractors. The primary objective of the DMS Program is to reduce cost and staffing by 
eliminating the resource intensive and archaic Automatic Digital Network (AUTODIN) system. 
A secondary objective is to improve support and security to the warfighters by implementing 
advanced messaging and directory services, building on commercial products and incorporating 
international standards. One of the core elements for successful Navy DMS implementation is 
the Operation Control Centers currently designated Area Control Centers (ACCs) and Local Control 
Centers (LCCs). Area Control Centers - formerly called LCC Level 3s - are the focal point for 
Navy DMS management in a specific Area of Responsibility (AOR). ACCs are planned for NCTAMS 
LANT, NCTAMS EURCENT, NCTAMS PAC and NAVCOMTELSTA San Diego. The ACCs primary mission is 
management of the DMS components in their AOR.

Naval Network Operations Command (COMNAVNETOPSCOM/NNOC)

In August, 2001, the Chief of Naval Operations ADM Vern Clark approved the creation of the Naval Network 
Operations Command (NNOC) to oversee the Navy's major information technology programs. The command, 
a result of the merger of the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Command (COMNAVCOMTELCOM) and 
Task Force Navy Marine Corps Intranet (TF NMCI), was based at the existing NAVCOMTELCOM headquarters 
located at the Naval District Washington's Nebraska Avenue Complex in Northwest Washington DC. CAPT 
Charles G. Cooper, commander of NAVCOMTELCOM, initially took the reins of the new command. NNOC operated 
the "Information Technology for the 21st Century" (IT-21), a program designed to upgrade network systems 
aboard ships. The NNOC also operated the Navy's computer network attack and defense work through IT-21 
and the NMCI procurement with Electronic Data Systems (EDS) Corporation. The creation of this command 
allowed the Navy to support the command and control of deployed forces through a network of global 
information technology systems and services. The merger resulted in a single organization with 
responsibility for operation and management of the Navy's voice, video and data networks. 

Naval Network Operations Command (NAVNETOPSCOM) operated and maintained the Navy’s global information 
technology systems and services, including enterprise networks; through assigned worldwide communications 
activities and related contracts, which supported warfighting operations and command and control of Naval 
forces, and performed such other functions and tasks as were directed by higher authority. The CNO 
established Commander, Naval Network Operations Command as the single focal point for Navy base level 
communications policy, procedures, and resources; consequently, operation and management of the Navy's 
Base Level Information Infrastructure (BLII) had become a core mission of NAVNETOPSCOM. 
=========================================================================================================
Naval Network Warfare Command (COMNAVNETWARCOM/NNWC)

Effective May 1, 2002, the Navy disestablished COMNAVNETOPSCOM and established Naval Network Warfare 
Command (COMNAVNETWARCOM) and NAVNETSPAOPSCOM DET. The headquarters element of COMNAVNETOPSCOM was 
incorporated with the operating elements of Naval Space Command in Dahlgren, VA and formed the newly 
titled Commander, Naval Network and Space Operations Command (COMNAVNETSPAOPSCOM). Selected organizations 
were realigned to report to COMNAVNETWARCOM. The remaining COMNAVNETOPSCOM elements at the Nebraska Avenue 
Complex in Washington, DC were realigned as a detachment of COMNAVNETSPAOPSCOM. The NAVNETWARCOM command 
itself did not have a huge staff, but the staff was the headquarters for all decisions, identifications 
and directions for a global staff of 7,000. 

Naval Network Warfare Command (NAVNETWARCOM), is an Echelon III shore activity, which included 23 
subordinate Naval information technology and information operations organizations. NAVNETWARCOM provides 
a single source of information support to the fleet, through assumption of central responsibility and 
authority over all aspects of information management. COMNAVNETWARCOM was dual-hatted as Commander, Naval 
Space Command (COMNAVSPACECOM) and served as the Naval Component Commander to USCINCSPACE. 

Several commands were placed under the authority of the Commander of NAVNETWARCOM, including the Naval 
Network and Space Operations Command (NNSOC) in Dahlgren, VA; the Fleet Information Warfare Center (FIWC) 
in Norfolk, VA; the Navy Component Task Force, Computer Network Defense (NCTF CND) in Washington, DC;
and the Director, Communications Security Material System (DCMS) in Washington DC. NNSOC was established 
coincident with NAVNETWARCOM, through the merger of the existing Naval Space Command in Dahlgren, VA and 
the Naval Network Operations Command (NNOC). The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) was 
assigned to report for additional duties to the NAVNETWARCOM Commander for matters related to fleet 
support and execution-year requirements. The Commander of the Naval Security Group (COMNAVSECGRU) was 
assigned to report for additional duties as the NAVNETWARCOM Director of Information Operations. 

This three-star flag-rank command is the type commander for Navy networks, and its establishment shows 
the Navy's recognition that networks, as warfare enablers, are becoming increasingly important to today's 
warfighter. Establishment of NAVNETWARCOM realign the various staffs needed to support the concept of one 
Naval network and to support that network's end-to-end operational management. 

Naval Network Warfare Command (NETWARCOM) is the Navy’s central operational authority for space, 
information technology requirements, network and information operations in support of Naval forces 
afloat and ashore. the NAVNETWARCOM mission statements include: to operate a secure and interoperable 
Naval network that will enable effects-based operations and innovation; to coordinate and assess the 
Navy operational requirements for, and use of, network, command and control, information technology, 
information operations and space; to serve as the operational forces advocate in the development and 
fielding of information technology, information operations and space; and to perform such other functions 
and tasks as may be directed by higher authority. Naval Network Warfare Command serves as a Functional 
Component Commander to U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM).

Naval Network Warfare Command (COMNAVNETWARCOM/NNWC)

Effective in June, 2008, NETWARCOM assumed Fleet Intelligence Type Commander (TYCOM)
responsibilities, in addition to its Information Operations (IO), Networks and Space
missions. NETWARCOM was also tasked to serve as the Fleet Advocate for Intelligence
Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities and readiness. This action 
responded to CNO Guidance Task 5.1.1, to "continue realignment of Naval Ingelligence
at Echelon III into the existing NETWARCOM TYCOM. 

Fleet intelligence and ISR have proven very successful in multiple combat operations,
in the last decade, and significant improvements in training and readiness have
been achieved. However, the current organization and process for generating
intelligence and ISR readiness is not coherent across all Navy Warfare areas, does
not provide for adequate ISR acquisition risk assessment, and will not keep pace
with the increasingly complex and dynamic potential threat environments of the
future. Therefore, CNO directed significant changes in Naval Intelligence alignment,
and assignment of intelligence TYCOM and Fleet ISR advocacy functions to NETWARCOM
is a key part of this intelligence transformation. Generating and sustaining the
world's best intelligence capability, fully integrated in all Navy warfare areas
to win decisively across the fll spectrum of conflict, in any joint or coalition
environment.

While continuing to report to Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command; NETWARCOM assumed 
the additional missions of optimizing intelligence readiness across all Navy Warfare 
areas, and began serving as the Operations Forces Advocate in the development, 
integration and fielding of ISR systems. NETWARCOM assumed the lead for providing 
synchronized and integrated intelligence manpower, equipment and training to Fleet 
and Naval Component Commanders, Maritime Headquarters/Maritime Operating Centers 
(MHQ/MOC), and all Navy Type Commanmders. 

NETWARCOM was not given the task of being the conduit for current and operational 
intelligence to the Fleet, which remained with the purview of Combatant Commanders, 
and the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). However, NETWARCOM was assigned to 
directly engage OPNAV N2 to ensure capabilities and processes are in place to deliver 
the best current/operational intelligence to the Fleet.
