VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - A retired chief explosive ordnance technician, who transferred from the military way of life to serve as a Navy civilian, was selected as Navy Expeditionary Combat Command’s (NECC) civilian of the month, Sept. 1.
Ken Sutliff, who serves as the Readiness and Cost Reporting Program deputy program manager for NECC and NECCPAC, has been assigned to the command since 2007 and appreciates the recognition for his achievements.
"I retired from active duty from NECC's N3 shop in 2008 and appreciate the opportunity to continue serving this command but wearing a different uniform to do so,” said Sutliff.
Nancy Harned, Executive Director for NECC praised Sutliff for his enthusiasm and dedication to accomplish the command’s mission.
“Our civilians are a vital part of NECC's success in ensuring the Navy's Expeditionary Forces are properly manned, trained, and equipped,” said Harned. “The work done by NECC civilians are often done behind the scenes, so I am very proud to recognize Mr. Sutliff's accomplishments by naming him Civilian of the Month for September.”
Sutliff who manages NECC and NECCPAC’s readiness reporting has a unique role in managing readiness and resources across the force.
“Thanks to his efforts, our Readiness and Cost Reporting system is a reliable tool that accurately tracks readiness and resource requirements across the force,” said Harned, who added Sutliff’s efforts have significantly contributed to our leaderships’ ability to clearly quantify the level and scope of effort required to achieve mission objectives. “He coordinated all training evolutions that supported training requirements at 16 NECC commands, including its outliers, and totaled approximately 962 personnel trained.”
Each month, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command recognizes a civilian of the month who is instrumental in supporting warfighting effectiveness across our active, reserve, and civilian force.
NECC is an enduring warfighting force providing sea-to-shore and inland operating environment capabilities across the full range of military operations that is focused on delivering combat effective expeditionary forces ready for worldwide operations now and into the future.
