Explanation:

Identify the governing publication for command administration

The Standard Subject Identification Code (SSIC) and Navy administrative guidelines dictate that a command's internal administrative organization, duties, and regulations are governed by the Standard Organization and Regulations Manual (SORM) of the U.S. Navy, often localized as the Ship's/Command's Organizational and Regulations Manual.

Evaluate the given options

• Option A (Naval Ships' Technical Manual - NSTM) governs technical and engineering instructions for shipboard systems.
• Option B (U.S. Navy Regulations) governs the entire Department of the Navy at a broad, high level rather than individual command administrative organization.

• Option D (Ship's/Command's Organizational and Regulations Manual - SORM) specifically governs a command's administrative organization.

Answer:

• (A) Naval Ships' Technical Manual
• (B) U.S. Navy Regulations
• (C) Ships' Maintenance and Material Management Manual
• (D) Ship's/Command's Organizational and Regulations Manual (Correct answer)
