In the [[Wikipedia:US Navy|modern US Navy]], the position is also called the [[Wikipedia:Chief of Naval Personnel|Chief of Naval Personnel]]. The DCNO performs all strategy and resource policies and serves as a single resource sponsor for all manpower and training program matters. The DCNO also performs all Capitol Hill related duties, including all Congressional testimony for matters pertaining to the Manpower, Personnel, Training, & Education command. The DCNO's office also acts as the lead organization to interface with Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of the Navy (DON) officials, other U.S. military and foreign departments, other Navy commands, other Federal agencies, and private organizations. It is unknown exactly how this fits into the UNSC's political structure, though its purpose is presumed to be the same.
