National Support

At the national level the Naval Sea Cadet Corps receives financial support from the Navy League of the United States and individual contributors from the Combined Federal Campaign. In addition the NSCC receives various grants from the government and private foundations to help offset the costs of training for cadets. The Sea Cadet program is also made possible through the countless hours that volunteer Sea Cadet officers put into the program.

The armed services provide invaluable support the NSCC. They support the program to the extent permitted by available resources, providing the support does not interfere with military missions. Support includes use of bases and ships for cadet training, textbooks, training aids, berthing and messing facilities under certain circumstances, airlifts and surplus uniforms. Also each service provides a valuable asset of personnel, who volunteer to instruct cadets in their area of expertise at Sea Cadet summer training and as members of the NSCC Officer Corps.

Official support of the NSCC by the Navy is promulgated in OPNAVINST 5760.5B. The Chief of Naval Operations has delegated the Commander, Naval Recruiting Command responsibility for coordinating Navy support of the NSCC. The Recruiting Command's Youth Programs Organization helps ensure Navy facilities and resources are made available for Sea Cadet training.

The Coast Guard has designated the Naval Sea Cadet Corps as the primary youth program that it supports. Official support of the NSCC is outlined in the USCG Public Affairs Manual (COMDTINST M5728.2C).

Local Support

Local NSCC and NLCC units are normally sponsored by a local Navy League Council. In certain instances, other patriotic organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion and the Fleet Reserve Association sponsor Cadet Corps units. The sponsoring organization, through a standing NSCC Committee, is charged with the continuing responsibility of providing moral and financial support without which their unit would have difficulty in surviving.

The NSCC Committee is responsible to the sponsoring organization for all phases of unit operation. In forming a unit, the Committee's primary functions are to conduct liaison with persons and groups willing to assist in forming the unit and in identifying adult leadership. When the unit is in full operation, the NSCC Committee continues to provide the unit Commanding Officer with assistance in administration and cadet training. While the NSCC Committee is responsible for ensuring that a training program of the highest possible caliber is established and maintained, ultimate responsibility for internal administration and operation of the unit is vested in its Commanding Officer. Sponsorship of either a NSCC or NLCC unit provides Navy League Councils and other patriotic organizations with a meaningful opportunity to contribute to the development of American youth and to provide a unique service to our maritime services.
