The Marine Executive Officer (Marine XO or MXO), works like any assistant department head, removing some of the work load from the Marine Commanding Officer (MCO) and, if the need arises, taking on the role of MCO. The MXO oversees the regular duties of the Marines, from regular drills to equipment training, assignment and supply requests to the ship/facilities Quartermaster as well as assisting the Marine CO with paperwork. They act like any Assistant Department head.
The MXO reports to the Marine Commanding Officer.
