(a) Under such regulations as the Secretary of the Navy prescribes, enlisted members of the naval service and enlisted members of the Coast Guard when it is operating as a service in the Navy may be assigned to duty in a service capacity in officers’ messes and public quarters where the Secretary finds that this use of the members is desirable for military reasons.

Historical and Revision Notes
Revised section Source (U.S. Code) Source (Statutes at Large)
7579 34 U.S.C. 915b(b). Aug. 2, 1946, ch. 756, §16(b), 60 Stat. 855.
  5 U.S.C. 412a. Aug. 2, 1946, ch. 756, §39, 60 Stat. 858.
  5 U.S.C. 421g(b). Aug. 2, 1946, ch. 756, §40(b), 60 Stat. 858.

In subsection (a) the words enlisted members of the naval service and enlisted members of the Coast Guard when it is operating as a service in the Navy are substituted for the words enlisted naval personnel to execute the definition of naval personnel made applicable to this section by 5 U.S.C. 421g. The definition in that section also covers personnel of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, but since that service has no enlisted members reference to it is unnecessary. In executing this definition the words while on active duty are omitted as unnecessary, since members not on active duty would not be subject to assignment by the Secretary of the Navy.

In subsection (b) the word transferred before the words member of the Fleet Reserve is omitted as unnecessary, since the categories of such members other than transferred have not been administratively used, and authority for them is omitted in this title. The words and the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve are added, as the words Fleet Reserve are used in a generic sense to cover such members. The words when not on active duty are added. When the personnel concerned are on active duty, they are treated in the same manner as others on active duty.

Transfer of Functions

For transfer of authorities, functions, personnel, and assets of the Coast Guard, including the authorities and functions of the Secretary of Transportation relating thereto, to the Department of Homeland Security, and for treatment of related references, see sections 468(b), 551(d), 552(d), and 557 of Title 6, Domestic Security, and the Department of Homeland Security Reorganization Plan of November 25, 2002, as modified, set out as a note under section 542 of Title 6.
