The Sea Organization (also known as the Sea Org) is a core group of Church of Scientology staff members who have signed a billion-year pledge of service to Scientology.[3]: 53 All Scientology management organizations are controlled exclusively by members of the Sea Org.[4] David Miscavige, the de facto leader of Scientology, is the highest-ranking Sea Org officer, holding the rank of captain.[1]: 139
The Sea Org has been described as a paramilitary organization[5] and as a private naval force,[6] having operated several vessels in its past and displaying a maritime tradition. Some ex-members and scholars have described the Sea Org as a totalitarian organization marked by intensive surveillance and a lack of freedom.[7]: 125
