NOAA Corps Commissioned Personnel Center

 
The Commissioned Personnel Center (CPC) provides direct human resource support to the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps, one of the nation's eight uniformed services of the United States. CPC manages and supports all aspects of an officer's career; from recruitment and training to assignments and benefits. CPC staff manage the distribution of the officer corps, oversee professional development, administer officer personnel boards, and support separation from service. CPC ensures the NOAA Corps has the skilled personnel needed to lead and conduct NOAA's vital scientific and environmental missions, contributing to national security and economic prosperity through oceanographic research, fisheries data collection, hydrographic surveying, and atmospheric monitoring.
