2. Administration. The Commander in Chief may organize the forces prescribed in subsection 1 as the Commander in Chief considers proper.

The Commander in Chief may, at any time, change the organization of the naval militia so as to conform to any organization, or system of drill or instruction adopted for the United States Navy, and increase and decrease for that purpose the number of officers, warrant officers, chief petty officers, petty officers and enlisted personnel and to change their grades, titles and designations.
The system of administration, drill and instruction of the naval militia must conform, as nearly as practicable, to that of the United States Navy.
