 Hello. I am Nancy Harned, Executive Director of Navy Expeditionary Combat Command and Navy Expeditionary Combat Command Pacific. NECC and NECC Pacific is a type command responsible for the organizing, manning, training, and equipping of Navy Expeditionary Combat Forces worldwide to include explosives ordinance disposal, naval construction, coastal riverine, expeditionary logistics, and expeditionary intelligence forces worldwide. At NECC, we are transforming how we use energy to make us better warfighters, deploying next generation capabilities that boost combat effectiveness, maximizing strategic options to better protect our sailors. Energy is critical to the Navy's ability to carry out its mission to provide global presence. NECC and its forces are focused on three key energy objectives to increase combat capability, increasing energy efficiency for our equipment, increasing alternative energy use in expeditionary operations, and changing how equipment is used in expeditionary operations. By being part of the solution, you understand that energy is critical to NECC's ability to provide global presence needed to ensure stability, deter potential adversaries, and present options during a crisis wherever or whenever they may occur.
