===United States Marine Corps=== In the [[United States Marine Corps]] (and USMC Reserve), all officers β including [[Warrant Officer (United States)|warrant officer]]s and [[limited duty officer]]s (LDOs) β are line officers, trained to command combat units, although Marine officers cannot command ships or shore organizations of the Navy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://doni.documentservices.dla.mil/US%20Navy%20Regulations/Chapter%2010%20-%20Precedence,%20Authority%20and%20Command.pdf|title=Chapter 10 β PRECEDENCE, AUTHORITY AND COMMAND, Section 2. Authority|last=U.S. Navy Regulations (2010)|website=doni.documentservices.dla.mil/|access-date=1 March 2017|quote=1030. Authority of an Officer of the Marine Corps Over Naval Forces. Officers of the Marine Corps may not command ships or Navy shore facilities. This article shall not be construed to prevent an officer of the Marine Corps, when so detailed by the Secretary of the Navy or a commander in chief (sic), from having and exercising such authority as may be necessary to direct the operations of all forces assigned to him or her.}}</ref> Unlike the Navy, the Marine Corps does not have any staff corps, consequently all Marine engineer and supply officers, and judge advocates, are line officers. The Marine Corps has no medical corps officers, dental corps officers, nurse corps officers, or chaplain corps officers. Because the Marine Corps is a service within the [[United States Department of the Navy|Department of the Navy]], these staff corps billets in the Marine Corps are normally filled by US Navy staff corps officers in those specialties, serving alongside Marines in Marine units, although officers of the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service may be detailed, as well.<ref name=":0" />
