AW Community.. I do apologize again, I did browse the forum categories to find if there was a general discussion forum but did not find an appropriate one.. if this thread needs to be moved, please go ahead..

I was wondering if anyone knew the difference between echelon III and echelon IV commands. I saw the news that all NAVSUP COMFISCS were being changed to echelon IV commands while as of right now, only FISC-SD is a echelon IV

Charlie, if this is classified too.. its a FML moment ;P google didn't give me much :(

Long story short:
"Echelon" basically refers to who is your boss.
If you're Echelon 1 then you answer to the CNO directly.
If you're Echelon 2 then you answer to an Echelon 1 Command and so on.

All it means is that the command you mention has been moved down one spot in the Navy chain of command structure.

I tried to find a listing of who all the Echelon 1 commands are for a brief I put together at work and the Navy staff didn't have a good list I could steal from...
