--------------------------------

The purpose of the Engineering Duty Officer Community is to provide experienced Naval Engineers known for bringing effective technical and business solutions in support of Naval Power 21; respected for integrity, adaptability, and agility.

Engineering Duty Officers ensure that our Naval and Joint Forces operate and fight with the most capable platforms possible. We are involved with the design, acquisition, construction, repair, maintenance, conversion, overhaul, and disposal of ships, submarines, aircraft carriers and the systems on those platforms (weapons, command and control, communications, computers, etc). ED Officers are unique to the navy because we all start our career as URL officers. First, we learn how to operate ships or submarines. Next, all ED's obtain technical/engineering masters degrees. Then, we combine that operational experience and technical knowledge to become the technical business leaders for the navy.
