The Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) in the United States Department of the Navy is similar to the human resources department of a corporation. The bureau provides administrative leadership and policy planning for the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) and the U.S. Navy at large. BUPERS is led by the Chief of Naval Personnel (CHNAVPERS), who serves in an additional duty capacity as the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Personnel, Manpower, and Training (DCNO N1).
As of 2024, the Bureau of Naval Personnel serves as an echelon II parent command to Navy Personnel Command (NAVPERSCOM). Commander, Navy Personnel Command (COMNAVPERSCOM) is assigned additional duty as the Deputy Chief of Naval Personnel (DEP CHNAVPERS). Most BUPERS offices are located in Millington, Tennessee, with a small BUPERS staff directly supporting the CHNAVPERS in Arlington County, Virginia.
