As of 2009, the office of the Bureau of Naval Personnel served as a parent command to the Navy Personnel Command (NPC). The duties of NPC are nearly identical to the former office of BUPERS and the command's logo even incorporates the name of the latter's office. As of 2024, BUPERS is no longer the overseeing authority for Navy Recruiting Command (NRC). CNRC is overseen by Naval Education and Training Command (NETC). Most of the BUPERS offices are located in Millington, Tennessee and Arlington, Virginia.
