    BU1 Daniel Kvaley stands next to Josh Baker - Chief Staff Officer, and Larry Manion Retired Chief of Police as he is recognized with a Navy Commendation Medal for his exceptional bravery and quick action during a life-threatening incident on December 13, 2023, in Oxnard, CA. His decisive actions, along with the help of a retired Chief of Police, Mrs. Stephanie Rutz, and an unidentified civilian, led to the rescue of a teenager trapped under a four-thousand-pound SUV following a severe traffic accident. BU1 Kvaley's selfless disregard for his own safety and his unparalleled devotion to saving a life exemplify the highest values of service and heroism. Quarters for muster, instruction, and inspection is the time Navy commands set aside to communicate face-to-face for accountability, impart information, recognize good performance, and conduct routine inspections. Naval Construction Group One (NCG-1) operates from Port Hueneme, California, and serves as the immediate superior in command (ISIC) for its assigned forces. NCG1 leads and manages the overall capability and readiness of Naval Construction Regiments (NCRs), Naval Mobile Construction Battalions (NMCBs), Construction Battalion Maintenance Units (CBMUs), and Underwater Construction Teams (UCTs). NCG1 is responsible for manning, training, equipping, and deploying combat-ready Naval Construction Force (NCF) units in support of combatant commanders (CCDRs) and Navy component commanders (NCCs). NCG1 provides program management and oversight in support of subordinate units and supports the Navy Expeditionary Combat Enterprise Force Development efforts. NCG1 provides the required engineering support that the Navy and nation need to construct and maintain base facilities, repair battle-damaged facilities, conduct defensive operations as required, and meet disaster preparedness and recovery missions.
