3 MISSION STATEMENT PQS Question : State and discuss the NMCB mission: Reference: NTTP 4-04, pp. 1-1 thru 1-6



4 NMCB Mission The mission of the NMCB is to provide responsive military construction support to Navy, Marine Corps, and other forces in military operations; to construct and maintain base facilities; to repair battle-damaged facilities, and to conduct limited defensive operations as required by the circumstances of the deployment situation. It can also accomplish disaster control and recovery efforts when required. Specifically, mission areas of the NMCB include the following: Performing horizontal and vertical construction simultaneously while defending their project sites from hostile forces. Deploying an Air DET with air-liftable supplies and equipment within 48 hours of notification. The remainder of a deployed NMCB can embark within 6 days. Conducting active defensive operations against overt or clandestine enemy attacks directed toward unit personnel, convoys, camps, and facilities under construction. Performing intermediate maintenance on organic and assigned augment equipment simultaneously with construction effort.



5 MOBILITY PQS Question Define the Mobilization Process as it applies to an NMCB. Reference: NAVFAC P-1049, pp 7-1 thru 7-2



6 MOBILIZATION PROCESS Mobilization is the process whereby a nation makes the transition form a normal state of peacetime preparedness to a war-fighting posture. It involves the assembly, organization and application of the nation’s resources for national defense. The mobilization process encompasses all activities necessary to systematically and selectively prepare for war. NMPS process Release, Depreservation, and Shipment of Prepositioned War Reserve Material Stock (PWRMS) and/or Final Title stocks stored at either NCBC Gulfport, MS or Port Hueneme, CA. Outfitting, Readying, and Training of NCF Personnel.



7 MOB Process The general planning policies, concepts, and assumptions, which were used in the development are as follows: Unit Table of Allowance (TOA) equipment and material will already be forward deployed (four TOAs at existing deployment sites), are deployed aboard the MPF(E), or will be deployed by air, rail, or sea from a supporting NCBC. Unit personnel will deploy by air (except ship riders). Mobilized unit personnel will stay at NCBC Gulfport, MS and Port Hueneme, CA, until scheduled to deploy. Personnel will be mobilized as specified in the TPFDD which are structured to provide adequate activation and training time in order to deliver unit personnel for deployment on the specified dates.



8 MOB Process All unit personnel going through NCBC Gulfport, MS and Port Hueneme, CA, will receive initial outfitting of selected individual combat and survivability gear from the homeport NCR/PWRMS and will receive refresher combat/survivability/unit training. Deployment scheduling will be as required by the OPLAN(s) being executed. Depending on specific OPLAN requirements, selected mobilizing unit personnel may be available to assist NCBC Gulfport, MS and Port Hueneme, CA, in the depreservation, breakout, staging and shipment of TOA equipment/material and in providing necessary personnel support functions. Logistics Support Mobilization Plans (LSMPs) will address whether or not selected mobilizing unit personnel (by unit, rate, number, and time-frame) are required. Such use shall not conflict with OPLAN deployment schedules or with initial outfitting/refresher training.



9 MOB Process All essential services currently being provided to tenant commands by NCBC Gulfport, MS and Port Hueneme, CA, will continue at a level commensurate with the tenant command's mobilization mission. New services will not be provided unless pre-mobilization support agreements are in place. All non-essential work will be deferred as required to meet the mobilization peak workload. During a full mobilization, NCBC Gulfport, MS and Port Hueneme, CA, will activate their supporting Augments, Personnel Mobilization Teams (PERSMOBTEAMS), and in mobilization mode will work two 10-hour shifts, 6 days per week

PQS Question : Discuss battalion command and control within the Marine Air/Ground Task Force (MAGTF): Reference: NTTP M, p 1-13



13 COMMAND & CONTROL IN MAGTF

Concepts Of The Naval Construction Force Command and Control. COMSECONDNCB and COMTHIRDNCB, as operational type commanders under CINCLANTFLT and CINCPACFLT, respectively, serve the fleet CINCs as the principal advisors for the direct utilization of the Seabee organizations and capabilities under their command. Headquarters for both NCBs (COMSECONDNCB is located in Norfolk, VA and COMTHIRDNCB is located in Pearl Harbor, HI) are situated close to the fleet CINCs. These NCBs exercise operational and limited administrative control of their assigned Seabee units, both active and Reserve. They also provide directive policy guidance for subordinate units in such areas as leadership and discipline, administration; contingency planning and readiness; military and technical training; unit deployment, employment, and scheduling; operational effectiveness; development of operational doctrine, tasking and procedures; equipment management; and logistics support. When SECOND NCB and THIRD NCB units deploy, their OPCON may shift to the appropriate fleet, joint, or unified combatant commander. However, COMSECONDNCB and COMTHIRDNCB always maintain administrative control of their subordinate units.

15 OPCON of NCF Units OPCON of NCF Units. The USMC/USN Terms of Reference state that OPCON is the only command and support relationship appropriate and authorized when Seabee units are employed within the MAGTF organization. ADCON usually remains with the Seabee unit’s parent NCB. OPCON of Seabee units provides the MAGTF commander with authority to direct the forces assigned so that the commander may: Accomplish specific missions or tasks that are usually limited by function, time, or location. Deploy the Seabee units concerned as appropriate. Retain or assign tactical control of those Seabee units. OPCON does not include authority to assign separate employment of elements of the units concerned. Neither does it, by itself, include administrative or logistic control. OPCON of those Seabee organizations not governed by the TOR, but employed in theater, may also be exercised by commands other than those which have ADCON, such as the unified CINCs, CJTFs, or component commanders.

PQS Question : Discuss battalion command and control during join operations in peacetime and wartime: Reference: OPNAVINST K, pp 5 thru 14



17 COMMAND & CONTROL IN JOINT OPERATIONS

Combatant Command (COCOM) Is the nontransferable command authority over assigned forces vested only in the commanders of combatant commands by Title 10 U.S.C. Section 164, or as directed by the President in the Unified Command Plan (UCP). COCOM is the authority to perform those functions of command involving organizing and employing commands and forces, assigning tasks, designating objectives, and giving authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations, joint training, and logistics necessary to accomplish the missions assigned to the command.



18 Reporting Relationships

Reporting relationships of NMCBs Forward deployment requirements for NMCBs are specified in reference (i). Rotation of NMCBs shall be planned by both NCBs and the Fleet CINCs, and approved by the CNO (N44). When not deployed, NMCBs are under the ADCON/OPCON of the NCBs reporting via their NCRs. When forward deployed, NMCBs shall be under the OPCON of the AOR theater CINC via the Navy service component commander serving that CINC and OPCON NCR Forward deployed NMCBs remain under the ADCON of the NCBs reporting via the NCRs. NMCBs may be assigned OPCON to a Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) or a Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF).

Reporting relationships of NMCBs Forward deployment requirements for NMCBs are specified in reference (i). Rotation of NMCBs shall be planned by both NCBs and the Fleet CINCs, and approved by the CNO (N44). When not deployed, NMCBs are under the ADCON/OPCON of the NCBs reporting via their NCRs. When forward deployed, NMCBs shall be under the OPCON of the AOR theater CINC via the Navy service component commander serving that CINC and OPCON NCR Forward deployed NMCBs remain under the ADCON of the NCBs reporting via the NCRs. NMCBs may be assigned OPCON to a Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) or a Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF).



26 Advance Base and Camp Construction

organized into one headquarters and four line companies with full wartime strength of 25 officers and 787 enlisted. Each line company includes a weapons platoon using heavy machine guns and lightweight antitank weapons. The headquarters company has mortar capability. CESE includes construction, weight handling, and general-purpose vehicles. There are currently nine active duty NMCBs, three of which are continuously forward deployed to Okinawa, Guam, Roosevelt Roads, and Rota, Spain. When not deployed or in movement, remaining active duty NMCBs perform planning and training at their homeports at NCBC Gulfport, MS or NBVC Port Hueneme, CA. Peacetime manning of active NMCBs is below wartime strength, and each has a dedicated reserve augment unit that may be activated through presidential recall during a crisis situation.



27 NON-COMBAT OPERATIONS (NCO)

PQS Question : Discuss battalion operations during a peacetime deployment: Reference: NAVFAC P-1049, p 12-3



28 BATTALION OPS DURING PEACETIME

When forward deployed during peacetime, the active NMCBs perform project construction (primarily for skills training and readiness) in support of Fleet CINCs under the coordination and project management of the NCBs. Deployed NMCBs also support Combatant CINC-sponsored Joint Exercises and Deployment for Training (DFT) Programs, as approved by the Fleet CINCs. There are currently 12 reserve NMCBs. Once fully mobilized, reserve NMCBs have the same contingency missions and required operational capabilities as active NMCBs. Because of their rapid deployment, self-sustainment and self-defense capabilities, their task specific organizational flexibility, and often, their geographic proximity, NMCBs (both active and reserve) may be tasked with providing emergency assistance, disaster recovery, or humanitarian relief support. Each NMCB shall be capable of forming, employing, and exercising command and control of independent detachments, teams or parties of up to 50 percent of the NMCB in size as required in support of tailoring to meet assigned objectives. Each Detachment shall be under the command of an officer in charge (OIC). Additional detachments and smaller work details may be required concurrently of the same NMCB.

33 COMMAND AND CONTROL WARFARE (C2W)

PQS Question : Discuss battalion Administrative Control (ADCON) and Operational Control (OPCON) in homeport: Reference: OPNAVINST K, pp 7 thru 8



34 OPCON OPCON Is the operational control inherent in COCOM and is the authority to perform those functions of command over subordinate forces involving organizing and employing commands and forces, assigning tasks, designating objectives, and giving authoritative direction necessary to accomplish the missions assigned to the command. Only the COCOM chain of command or National Command Authority (NCA) delegates OPCON.



35 ADCON ADCON Is the administrative control over subordinate or other organizations with respect to administration and support, including organization of naval forces, control of resources and equipment, personnel management, unit logistics, individual and unit training, readiness, mobilization, demobilization, and discipline and other matters not included in the operational missions of the subordinate or other organizations. Specifically included in ADCON are command of peacetime support and employment of NCF forces (other than OPCON during theater CINC peacetime exercises and training), and readiness reporting (SORTS). The Department of the Navy is responsible for all logistic and administrative support of NCF forces assigned to or attached to joint commands and combatant commanders. ADCON of NCF forces is delegated as described in this Policy Statement:



36 ADCON All Service forces (except as noted in 10 U.S.C. 162) are assigned to combatant commands by the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) “Forces for Unified Commands” memorandum. A force assigned or attached to a combatant command may be transferred from that command only as directed by SECDEF and under procedures prescribed by SECDEF and approved by the President. The Commanders In Chief, U.S. Atlantic and Pacific Fleets (CINCLANTFLT and CINCPACFLT) are assigned ADCON over all NCF units assigned to and including their respective NCBs.



37 COMMAND AND CONTROL WARFARE (C2W)

PQS Question : Discuss NMCB administrative control when forward deployed: Reference: OPNAVINST K, p 8



38 ADCON when forward deployed

ADCON includes command, control and coordination of peacetime operations and support performed by forward-deployed units and shall remain under their respective Fleet CINCs, exercised via their NCBs. Fleet CINCs / NCBs are authorized to delegate ADCON of assigned units to maximize efficiency of command and control (for example, an NCR should be delegated ADCON of subordinate NMCBs and assigned NCF units). Specific Seabee resources are forward deployed in accordance with reference (i). The Fleet CINCs and NCBs shall coordinate OPCON relationships with the associated theater CINC exercising COCOM over the forward-deployed resources. As specified, in the event of a major emergency in the geographic combatant commander’s area of responsibility (AOR), or theater, requiring the use of all available forces, that geographic combatant commander may assume direct OPCON of all forces (including forward deployed NCF units) located within the assigned AOR. Forward deployment of NCF units provides close geographic proximity to locations where a contingency may occur, minimizing lift requirements and maximizing prompt logistical support and responsiveness.



39 COMMAND AND CONTROL WARFARE (C2W)

PQS Question : Discuss NMCB operational control within the MAGTF and a Naval Construction Regiment (NCR): Reference: NTTP M, p NWP 4-04, p 2-7



40 OPCON of NCF OPCON of NCF Units. MAGTF

The USMC/USN Terms of Reference state that OPCON is the only command and support relationship appropriate and authorized when Seabee units are employed within the MAGTF organization. ADCON usually remains with the Seabee unit’s parent NCB. OPCON of Seabee units provides the MAGTF commander with authority to direct the forces assigned so that the commander may: Accomplish specific missions or tasks that are usually limited by function, time, or location. Deploy the Seabee units concerned as appropriate. Retain or assign tactical control of those Seabee units. OPCON does not include authority to assign separate employment of elements of the units concerned. Neither does it, by itself, include administrative or logistic control. OPCON of those Seabee organizations not governed by the TOR, but employed in theater, may also be exercised by commands other than those which have ADCON, such as the unified CINCs, CJTFs, or component commanders.



41 NCR NCR Organization. Normally commanded by a Navy CEC Captain, a deployable, operational NCR CE consists of a staff organized into the following departments: Executive, Administrative, Intelligence, Operations, Supply, and Readiness. The NCR CE typically has OPCON over two to four assigned NMCBs and an NCFSU. However, if the mission and engineering requirements warrant such, one or more Air DETs from a UCT may also be assigned to augment the NCR task organization. Concept of Employment. The NCR CE is task-organized and equipped for employment as an assigned force in support of MEF-sized operations when two or more NMCBs operating in a specific area are assigned to support the MEF. The NCR CE is structured to provide air or surface deployable elements in support of a specific military operation. Generally, the NCR CE: Maintains an organic TOA (TA11) capable of sustaining operations planned or envisioned under contingency or general war conditions for 60 days without resupply, except that Class I material is limited to 5 days, Class III is limited to 3 days, and Class V is limited to 15 days. Organic Class IV is limited to only those materials required to construct the command element’s base camp. Resupply past the timeframes noted is the responsibility of the supported MAGTF. Is capable of performing its mission using basic individual protective measures in a CBR-contaminated environment for 30 days. Tasks. The NCR CE is a command and control organization that plans, monitors, directs, coordinates, and controls construction operations for all subordinate NMCBs, NCFSUs, and other attached units.
