The '''Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command''' (COMNAVMETOCCOM) or '''CNMOC''', serves as the operational arm of the Naval Oceanography Program.  Headquartered at the [[Stennis Space Center]] in Mississippi, CNMOC is an echelon three command reporting to [[United States Fleet Forces Command]] (USFLTFORCOM).  CNMOC's area of responsibility is globally distributed, with assets on larger ships ([[aircraft carrier]]s, amphibious ships, and command and control ships), shore facilities at fleet concentration areas, and larger production centers in the US.

Effective October 1, 2014, the Command's major subordinate activities fourth echelon commands include the [[Naval Oceanographic Office]], at [[Stennis Space Center]] Mississippi; [[Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center]], in Monterey, California; the [[Naval Observatory]], in Washington, D.C.; the Naval Oceanography Operations Command, at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi; the Fleet Weather Center Norfolk, in Norfolk, Virginia; and Fleet Weather Center San Diego, in San Diego, California. The Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Professional Development Center in Gulfport, Mississippi has been renamed Information Warfare Training Group Gulfport. All Commands have been administratively realigned to Naval Information Forces, Suffolk, Virginia.  Operational control of Navy Oceanography forces remains aligned to Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command.
