COMPONENT STAFF ENGINEER - Each of the unified CCDRs has a resident
CEC officer on their staff except for U.S. Transportation Command. The primary
role of these officers is to contribute to strategic and operational-level
contingency planning processes toward development of an ESP for specifically
identified areas and operations. When a crisis situation arises, planners
immediately tailor the OPLAN for the specific situation. See Appendix B for
information on combatant command staff engineer/NAVFAC regional engineer
alignment. Combatant command staff engineers:
1. Function as conduits to relay engineer requirements and acquire services
from 1NCD, NECC, and NAVFAC.
2. Serve as the single points of contact providing the CCDR with mission
capabilities, organizational structure, equipment, and proper employment of the
NCF and NAVFAC.
3. Help identify the amount and type of naval construction forces necessary to
provide the capabilities required by a joint force commander’s (JFC) campaign
plan.
4. Request augmentation for the planning process from NAVFAC and 1NCD. A
NAVFAC contingency engineering management team staffed by Navy CEC
officers from NAVFAC’s cognizant FEC and/or 1NCD may be requested to
support the CCDR’s planning effort.

forward engagement requirements of combatant commanders (CCDRs) and
component commanders; to conduct contingency and crisis action planning in
support of OPLANs and contingencies; to provide contributory engineering
support to naval shore activities; and to exercise C2 over NCR and Seabee
readiness groups (SRG) by providing them planning, training, and resources to
organize, train, operate, and maintain Seabee units.
NCR - Commanded by a Navy CEC captain, the NCR(CE) is a permanently
structured, fully deployable integral unit. Command and staff functions for the
regiment are exercised through a compact operational command group that
consists of the commander and an executive staff. The staff is capable of
integrating the efforts of assigned units with those of supporting units. The
deployable staff of the NCR(CE) is organized into a command section, special
assistants sections, and the following departments: Administrative (R1),
Intelligence (R2), Operations (R3), Logistics (R4), Communications (R6), and
Training (R7). The NCR(CE) does not have dedicated direct labor assets.
ADMIN, COMMAND &

SRG - An SRG plans and delivers training, mobilization, and logistical support to
1NCD units to ensure that they achieve and maintain high operational
readiness. One SRG is located at each of the two NCF homeports. These
homeports are located at Port Hueneme, California, and Gulfport, Mississippi.
The SRG is the personnel receiving and processing activity for deployed 1NCD
units and also supports reserve personnel mobilization. 1NCD uses SRG
resources to support contingency operations; reception, staging, onward
movement, and integration requirements; and NCR(CE) staff individual
augmentation requirements.
NMCB - The NMCB provides a full spectrum of general engineering capabilities
and limited combat engineering capabilities for the supported unit. Refer to
Appendix A for a list of tasks within the range of NMCB capabilities. It conducts
the following initial engineer operations in support of combat operations through
permanent construction required during security and stability operations:
ADMIN, COMMAND &

•
UCT - The UCT is a specialized unit that provides a wide range of underwater
repair, inspection, and construction expertise. Teams are amphibious in nature,
consisting of qualified divers from Seabee ratings and support personnel. They
accomplish inshore and deep-ocean engineering tasks. The danger of
underwater construction and the use of explosives for subsurface and terrestrial
demolition require Seabee divers to have specialized training, skills, and
personnel qualification standards. Seabee divers continually exercise these
critical readiness requirements throughout the fleet response training plan to
maintain their proficiency. Teams have specialists in logistics, administration,
and diving medicine.
CBMU - The CBMU provides deployment support for 1NCD forward (FWD),
conducts public works functions at expeditionary forward operating bases, and
constructs expeditionary medical facilities (EMFs). Its personnel and equipment
are a modular task organization of air-transportable, ground, and sea logistics
elements. Each CBMU is an integrated active duty/reserve organization whose
AC is an immediate response force, while its RC detachments require a 30-day
mobilization for employment. Of the total BA, roughly 70 percent are direct labor
assets that can be assigned directly to construction and contingency operations
or other tasking.

ADMIN, COMMAND &
CONTROL
Determining Eligibility - The adjudicative process is an examination of a sufficient period of a
person's life to make an affirmative determination that the person is eligible for a security
clearance. Eligibility for access to classified information is predicated upon the individual meeting
these personnel security guidelines. The adjudicative process is the careful weighing of a number
of variables known as the whole person concept. Available, reliable information about the person,
past and present, favorable and unfavorable, should be considered in reaching a determination.
In evaluating the relevance of an individual's conduct, the adjudicator should consider the
following factors:
a. The nature, extent, and seriousness of the conduct;
b. The circumstances surrounding the conduct, to include knowledgeable participation;
c. The frequency and recency of the conduct;
d. The individual's age and maturity at the time of the conduct;
e. The voluntariness of participation;
f. The presence or absence of rehabilitation and other pertinent behavioral changes;
g. The motivation for the conduct;
h. The potential for pressure, coercion, exploitation, or duress; and
i. The likelihood of continuation or recurrence.
ADMIN, COMMAND &
CONTROL
Granting Access- Each case must be judged on its own merits, and final determination
remains the responsibility of the specific department or agency. Any doubt as to whether
access to classified information is clearly consistent with national security will be resolved in
favor of the national security.
The ultimate determination of whether the granting or continuing of eligibility for a security
clearance is clearly consistent with the interests of national security must be an overall
common sense determination based upon careful consideration of the following, each of
which is to be evaluated in the context of the whole person.
ADMIN, COMMAND &
CONTROL
Granting Interim - The decision to issue an interim eligibility is made by a DISCO
adjudicator who considers 13 adjudicative guidelines. These same guidelines are also used
by an adjudicator in considering whether to grant a final PCL. These guidelines are set forth
in part II. It is important to note that DISCO may be required to await the completion of an
investigation in order to appropriately apply the 13 guidelines. We have, through
experience, learned that the most common reasons for such a delay in an eligibility
determination at the Investigation Request stage are:
Financial Considerations. For example, a history of not meeting financial obligations or an
inability or unwillingness to satisfy debts.
Emotional, Mental and Personality Disorders. For example, information that suggests that
an individual has a condition or treatment that may indicate a defect in judgment, reliability
or stability.
Foreign Preference. For example, possession of a valid foreign passport.
Criminal Conduct. For example, felony arrests, multiple misdemeanor arrests or
imprisonment for over one year.
Drug involvement. For example, recent drug use, illegal drug possession or drug
dependence.
ADMIN, COMMAND &
CONTROL
Adjusting/Suspending - When information of security concern becomes known about an
individual who is currently eligible for access to classified information, the adjudicator should
consider whether the person:
a. Voluntarily reported the information;
b. Was truthful and complete in responding to questions;
c. Sought assistance and followed professional guidance, where appropriate;
d. Resolved or appears likely to favorably resolve the security concern;
e. Has demonstrated positive changes in behavior and employment;
f. Should have his or her access temporarily suspended pending final adjudication of the
information.
If after evaluating information of security concern, the adjudicator decides that the
information is not serious enough to warrant a recommendation of disapproval or revocation
of the security clearance, it may be appropriate to recommend approval with a warning that
future incidents of a similar nature may result in revocation of access.

NWP 4-04, [ch. 3, p. 3-1, ch. 4, p. 4-3]
ADMIN, COMMAND &

The Operational Chain of Command. The first branch is the operational chain of
command. The Navy’s operational chain-of-command branch runs from the President to
the Secretary of Defense (SecDef) to the combatant commander (and to the
subordinate unified commander or commander, joint task force, when designated). The
Navy component commander is under the combatant commander. The Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff transmits orders to the combatant commanders as directed by the
President.
The Service Chain of Command. The second branch of the chain of command is the
service chain of command. The service chain of command prepares service forces and
their administration and support. The Secretary of the Navy is responsible for the
administration and support of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps forces assigned or attached
to each of the combatant commands. The Secretary exercises ADCON through the
CNO and the commander of the Navy component command assigned to a combatant
command and through the Marine Corps Commandant and the Marine Corps
component commander assigned to a combatant command. Service component
commanders operate within both chain-of command branches: they respond to JFC’s
orders in the operational chain of command, and are equipped, manned, and supported
by the service chain of command.

Type Commander (TYCOM) - ECHELON II Command - Leaders/Planners
Combatant Command (COCOM) - Provides input for budget and planning,
programming ,and budgeting system. Assigns subordinate commanders.
Develops and maintains relations with Department of Defense agencies.
Convenes courts-martial. Directive authority for logistics
Operational Control (OPCON) - Gives authoritative direction for all military
operations and joint training. Organizes and employs commands and forces.
Assigns command functions to subordinates. Establishes plans and
requirements for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance activities.
Suspends subordinate commanders from duty
Tactical Control (TACON) - Local direction and control of movements or
maneuvers to accomplish mission.
Support - Aid, assist, protect, or sustain another organization
Administrative Control (ADCON) - ADCON is the direction or exercise of
authority over subordinate or other organizations for administration and
support actions. ADCON is delegated and exercised by Service force
commanders
ADMIN, COMMAND &
CONTROL
Coordinating Authority - Coordinating authority applies more to planning than to
operations and is given to a commander or an individual to coordinate special
functions and activities involving two or more military departments or two or
more forces of the same Service. The commander or individual requires
consultation among agencies but does not have the authority to force
agreement. The establishing directive names the common task to be
coordinated but does not change organizational relationships in other matters.
The missions and capabilities of the commands determine the scope of the
coordinating authority. Commanders or individuals at or below CCDR level
exercise coordinating authority.
Direct Liaison Authorized (DIRLAUTH) - DIRLAUTH is a coordination
relationship, not an authority through which command may be exercised. A
commander at any level grants DIRLAUTH to a subordinate in order for the
subordinate officer to directly consult or coordinate an action with a command
or agency within or outside of the granting command. DIRLAUTH is more
applicable to planning than operations, and this relationship requires the
subordinate to keep the granting commander informed on a continuing and
timely basis.

PQS Question 103.14 Discuss the following in
relation to Support Authority (Control)
- Supported Commander
- Supporting Commander
- General Support
- Mutual Support
- Direct Support
- Close Support
Reference:
NWP 4-04, [ch. 3, p. 3-7 thru 3-8]
ADMIN, COMMAND &
CONTROL
Supported Commander: ensures that the supporting commander understands
the type of assistance required. Unless limited by the establishing directive, the
supported commander has the authority to exercise the general direction of the
supporting effort, which includes designating and prioritizing targets and
objectives for construction projects, in the case of Seabees, and establishing the
time and duration of the supporting action.
Supporting Commander: determines the supported commander’s needs and
fills them according to priorities and requirements of other assigned tasks. The
supporting commander determines the forces, tactics, methods, procedures,
and communications necessary to provide the support. When the supporting
commander cannot fulfill the needs of the supported commander, the supported
or the supporting commander notifies the establishing authority.
ADMIN, COMMAND &
CONTROL
General Support. A Seabee element provides general construction/engineering
support to the component or the component element as a whole, not to a
particular subordinate unit. The Seabee element responds to the requirements
of the component command as tasked by the NCE Operations Officer in
coordination with the component command staff engineer.
Direct Support. A Seabee element provides direct construction/engineering
support to one unit. The Seabee element is required to respond to the supported
unit’s construction/engineering requirements. As a second priority, the Seabee
element will respond to the construction/engineering requirements of the
component command as tasked by the NCE Operations Officer in coordination
with the component command staff engineer. These Seabee elements may be
assigned to the supported unit or operate with independent logistics support.
Close Support. A Seabee element with a close support mission provides
construction/engineering support on projects and objectives with the supported
force through coordination with the NCE Operations Officer and provides force
protection, movement, and communications tasks through coordination with the
supported force. An example of close support is the combat engineer task
execution of units engaged in the combat operation conducted in Fallujah, Iraq.
ADMIN, COMMAND &
CONTROL
Mutual Support. Seabee elements receive a mutual support mission when their
assigned tasks, their position relative to other component command engineer
elements, and their capabilities allow them to coordinate their activities in order
to assist each other to respond to the construction/engineering requirements of
the component command. These Seabee elements are tasked by the NCE
Operations Officer in coordination with the component command staff engineer.
An example of this support is execution of combat engineer or general
Engineering tasks by units engaged in a specific combat operation, such as the
construction of the Diyala gap crossing during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.
Both Marine Engineers and Seabees supported this mission.
