The Navy Medical Department is the designated single manager under Federal law for the Congress, the White House and all overseas embassies, consulate and legations. So, we have Navy doctors and Hospital Corpsmen at certain embassies. Since the Army Signal Corps manages all State Department communications under Federal law, there are no Navy Cryptographic Technicians at embassies. The Marines have single managership of security, while the Air Force manages air transportation for both the State Department and the White House.

Yes, if the US keeps a Naval attache office at the embassy, then there will be a few Naval personnel there. Usually the attache is an O6 at least, and an aviator, but he/she will have enlisted support staff. As to specialty, usually they are intel, admin, NCOs; it's POSSIBLE that there may be a SPECWAR rep, if there is considerable liaison with host nation naval special ops.
Note that not every US embassy has a naval attache, and the "military attache" could be a naval officer, without any other USN presence.
In general, embassy duty requires a great record, ideally some language background (or ethnic background), and some time in a long/short tour overseas.

I don't know the answer, but I want to say that frfiter, the Marines and Coast Guard are not subdivisions of the Navy. They are all 3 completely separate military branches. The Marines and Navy work together, and the Navy and Coast Guard have good relations as well. Only during special circumstances does the Coast Guard come under the control of the Navy. At all other times they are all separate.
Sorry I don't know the answer, I just had to respond to that last answer.

Just to let you know that the Marines fall under The Department of The Navy check the holographic emblem on any Marine ID card so the answer is yes

The only Naval personnel I've seen in an embassy was a Naval (officer) liaison.

the US Marine corp. and the coast guard are subdivisions of the Navy. so yes they do get stationed there.
Hey yo look it up then apoligize
I just looked it up: there are three divisions of the armed service, Army, Navy, and Airforce, which consist of five seperate branches. these five seperate branches that fall under the three divisions are the army, navy, airforce, marines, and coast guard. The army is one seperate branch under the army division, the airforce is one seperate branch under the airforce division, and the navy, marine, and coast guard are seperate branches under the navy division.

US Emabssies are protected by the Marines. It is their special duty to protect our sovereign soil on foreign lands.
