All the refs are primary sources. Don't any independent sources discuss this topic? Yoninah (talk) 21:38, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
Okay, I suppose that people have been avoiding this nomination because there are a lot of references to look at to support the hook. So I'm going to make it easy and point out the relevant parts of the sources for you.
- "design, construct, and maintain the U. S. Navy's military hardware": each of the systems commands uses language along these lines.
- NAVSEA: "We design, build, deliver and maintain ships and systems" (Ref. 1)
- NAVAIR: "NAVAIR's mission is to provide full life-cycle support of naval aviation aircraft, weapons and systems operated by Sailors and Marines. This support includes research, design, development and systems engineering; acquisition; test and evaluation; training facilities and equipment; repair and modification; and in-service engineering and logistics support." (Ref. 2)
- SPAWAR: "We support the full lifecycle of product and service delivery from the initial research and development, to acquisition and deployment, to operations and logistics support." (Ref. 3)
- NAVFAC: "NAVFAC is the Systems Command that builds and maintains sustainable facilities, delivers utilities and services, and provides Navy expeditionary combat force capabilities." (Ref. 4)
- NAVSUP: "We execute our mission along three main business lines: Weapon Systems Support, Global Logistics Support, and Sailor and Family Support." (Ref. 5)
- MCSC: "Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) outfits United States Marines with literally everything they drive, shoot and wear... [We] listen, learn, research, develop, test, procure and sustain – whatever it takes to get Marines what they need, when they need it" (Ref. 6)
- "include the chiefs of two of the Navy's eight staff corps"
