VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Navy Expeditionary Combat Command announced its October staff Civilian of the Month on Oct. 4.
Stanley Holloway, who is assigned to NECC’s Operational Support Officer (OSO) team, was selected for the type command’s monthly award for implementing priority manning initiatives for Reserve component operational units within the Expeditionary Enterprise and Reserve Naval Forces. His initiative to improve the Reserve force readiness ensured Sailors were properly manned and able to execute their requirements for various Global Force Management deployments.
Holloway, who retired as a commander from the U.S. Navy in 2010 after serving 24 years, was humbled by his selection. He has been a part of the NECC civilian staff since 2013.
“I'm very grateful to receive this award. My chain of command makes it so easy to do what I do,” said Holloway. “They provide me with all the tools and guidance to be successful.”

Holloway credits his team in accomplishing their mission to ensure NECC Reserve forces maintain operational readiness. While serving on the OSO team, Holloway provided assistance in shaping Seabee Reserve manning.

“He provided in-depth analysis of Reserve Seabee manning across the Naval Reserve Force to help determine the way ahead for instituting priority manning across NECC's Reserve Component operational units, significantly contributing to improved manning across the operational forces,” said Nancy Harned, NECC’s Executive Director.
Additionally, Holloway assisted with modifying Reserve Component Seabee assignments to the Reserve operational Navy Mobile Construction Battalions from two to five years which serves to improve overall personnel readiness for these warfighting units.
“He personally coordinated the effort of identifying over 2,100 Sailors and ensured each Sailor was personally contacted, and the submission and execution of over 1,718 projected rotation date adjustments,” said Harned.
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.
