The New York Naval Militia is the naval militia of New York State and is under the command of the Governor of New York.
With the New York State Guard, as well as the Army National Guard and Air National Guard, it is under the control of the New York Division of Military and Naval Affairs and New York's Adjutant General.
At present, the New York Naval Militia has over 2,000 members, 95% of whom are also members of the U.S. Naval Reserve, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, or U.S. Coast Guard Reserves.[citation needed]
The New York Naval Militia is organized into three regional commands, Southern Command, Northern Command, and Western Command; and one operational command, the Military Emergency Boat Service (MEBS).
