Masters-at-Arms were performing law enforcement and ATFP duties. Concurrently, for those naval shore installation with a nuclear weapons mission and a collocated nuclear weapons storage areas (primarily naval submarine bases and select <a href="/wiki/Naval_air_station" title="Naval air station">naval air stations</a>, the Marine Corps Security Force assigned to that installation's Marine Barracks, held responsibility for access gates/gate guards, perimeter security, and security of stored nuclear weapons. A similar function was held by the Marine Detachment, essentially a reinforced infantry company, aboard major warships that had both nuclear weapons storage facilities and functioned as flagships (e.g., aircraft carriers and battleships). But the majority of Navy MAAs, especially those assigned to ships, still performed archaic duties such as berthing inspections, restricted barracks supervision, linen issue, and seabag locker management. However, the increased terrorist threat changed the way the Navy thought and operated. </p><p>In the mid and late 1980s, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, in agreement with the Chief of Naval Operations, began removing Marine Corps enlisted personnel from gate guard duties at the naval installations they were assigned to in order to place greater emphasis on the nuclear weapons security role, with Navy enlisted personnel assuming gate guard and perimeter security duties. However, most of the junior enlisted personnel assigned to these functions were not part of the MA rating and had little formal training in security duties. With the end of the <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a>, Marine Detachments were also removed from aircraft carriers in the early 1990s, the four <a href="/wiki/Iowa-class_battleship" title="Iowa-class battleship">Iowa-class battleships</a> having been concurrently decommissioned at the same time. </p><p>However, with the <a href="/wiki/USS_Cole_bombing" title="USS Cole bombing">USS <i>Cole</i> bombing</a> in 2000, followed by the events of <a href="/wiki/9/11" class="mw-redirect" title="9/11">9/11</a>, the U.S. Navy began to realize its personnel, equipment and infrastructure were grossly under protected because of a lack of specially-trained personnel, especially the Master-at-Arms. As terrorism became a real threat, the Navy's leadership was forced to change how the master-at-arms was viewed, used, and task organized, leading to serious changes in force protection tactics, techniques and procedures. This led to the establishment of the Antiterrorism/Force Protection Warfare Development Center (ATFPWDC), the precursor to the current Center for Security Forces and an increase in Master-at-Arms manning, which in the year 2000 was barely 1,800 to over 11,000 by the year 2007. In addition, in 2003 the <a href="/wiki/Navy_Recruiting_Command" class="mw-redirect" title="Navy Recruiting Command">Navy Recruiting Command</a> increased recruiting efforts tremendously help fill the billet requirements being demanded by the various type commanders (TYCOM) to combat the terrorist threats within their area of responsibility.

It was also during this period, for the first and only time, that Master-at-Arms were considered a source rating for <a href="/wiki/U.S._Navy_SEAL" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Navy SEAL">U.S. Navy SEAL</a> and were allowed to attend Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training. </p><p>Then again in 2011, this changed with U.S. Fleet Forces Command assuming responsibility as the Master-at-Arms community sponsor. This shift is indicative of the "drawdown" the entire U.S. military was seeing from its departure from combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. This move marks the change from combat and combat support roles that Masters-at-Arms participated in the various expeditionary and SOF units, and back to more traditional law enforcement roles with U.S. Fleet Forces Command as the community's functional commander. This move still exasperates the existing issue that has plagued the community from its beginning. The issue of the Navy Security Force not having a single <a href="/wiki/Command_hierarchy" title="Command hierarchy">chain of command</a>, or type commander, similar to how the U.S. Army, and U.S. Marine Corps Military Police Corps, or U.S. Air Force Security Forces are task organized.

This also limits the ability of enlisted MA personnel from assisting civilian police. </p><p>The duties of a Master-at-Arms vary from command to command. Most will primarily perform Antiterrorism (AT), Physical Security (PS), and Law Enforcement (LE) duties, however, other types of duties are open to the rating depending on the command that they are assigned to. This can be in areas such as expeditionary warfare, special operations support, independent duty, GWOT individual augmentee, protective service detail assigned to a high-ranking official, or corrections. Master-at-Arms may also serve outside of the rating, when approved by the community manager, such as in recruiting, recruit training, assignment to NCIS or Afloat Training Group (ATG) as a trainer and evaluator, or to a flag or general officer's Staff. </p><p>As the primary law enforcement organization on a naval installation, Master-at-Arms may perform their duties operating a patrol vehicle or Harbor Security Boat (HSB); standing watch (or post) at a gate, pier or flight line as a fixed or roving sentry; conducting traffic enforcement; conducting interviews or interrogations; collecting evidence or securing a crime scene. Like any other law enforcement agency, there are also administrative duties performed by Master-at-Arms such as personnel management, training, inspections, records keeping, etc. </p><p>Personnel in the Master-at-Arms rating can also expect to see duties on board a variety of naval warships such as an aircraft carriers' security force department; on a cruiser, destroyer, or aviation squadron as an independent duty Master-at-Arms; on board a naval installation in the United States or in overseas locations such as Bahrain and Diego Garcia, assigned to the security force or police departments; forward deployed to <a href="/wiki/Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraq</a>, <a href="/wiki/Afghanistan" title="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</a> or <a href="/wiki/Africa" title="Africa">Africa</a> on a GWOT IA assignment; or assigned to an expeditionary or naval special warfare unit. When assigned to these different types of units, Master-at-Ams are expected to achieve the same qualifications and watch stations, as the rest of the sailors assigned to that unit. This may include damage control, maintenance and material management, officer of the deck or petty officer of the watch or small boat coxswain. Overall, these specific qualifications are required of all sailors to complete their unit specific warfare qualifications, for example, enlisted surface warfare specialist or enlisted expeditionary warfare specialist. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Uniform">Uniform</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Master-at-arms_(United_States_Navy)&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Uniform"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Navy_MMA_Law_Enforcement_Badges.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Navy_MMA_Law_Enforcement_Badges.png/300px-Navy_MMA_Law_Enforcement_Badges.png" decoding="async" width="300" height="173" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Navy_MMA_Law_Enforcement_Badges.png/450px-Navy_MMA_Law_Enforcement_Badges.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Navy_MMA_Law_Enforcement_Badges.png/600px-Navy_MMA_Law_Enforcement_Badges.png 2x" data-file-width="1747" data-file-height="1008" /></a><figcaption>U.S. Navy's current law enforcement metal badge</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NSF_Badge_-_Patch.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/NSF_Badge_-_Patch.jpg/300px-NSF_Badge_-_Patch.jpg" decoding="async" width="300" height="127" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/NSF_Badge_-_Patch.jpg/450px-NSF_Badge_-_Patch.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/NSF_Badge_-_Patch.jpg/600px-NSF_Badge_-_Patch.jpg 2x" data-file-width="729" data-file-height="308" /></a><figcaption>U.S. Navy's current law enforcement patch for the NWU</figcaption></figure> <p>According to early records, the U.S. Navy took its time about identifying ratings by the symbols so familiar on today's naval uniforms.
