can a US Navy officer be sent to train with the Marines and be deployed in Iraq?

Answer 1

The U.S. Navy currently has a program going on called I-A (Individual Augmentee). They are sending thousand of sailors through army training and sending them to Iraq and Afghanistan. Volunteers and non-volunteers. Sending officers to the Marines would be no problem since the Marines are technically a branch of the Navy.

Answer 2

Of course, the Marines are part of the Department of the Navy. There is no Marine Academy, Marine officers come from graduates of the US Naval Academy. Naval officers often command major Marine operations. They are closely related.

Answer 3

yeap. There are several AD Navy Officers whose fulltime job is working with Marines, and no, I don't mean Medical Personnel.

There is also the possibiloity of IA..Individual Augmentee, whereby you are sent on a TAD basis..deploymnet, basically, as an individual and not as part of a command/unit.
