Maritime Expeditionary Security Group ONE (MESG-1) NOLF IB Bldg. 184, 1498 13th Street Imperial Beach, CA 91932

Maritime Expeditionary Security Group TWO (MESG-2) 2465 Guadalcanal Road, Suite 14 Virginia Beach, VA 23459-9207

1.0 Background

The Chief of Naval Operations established the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) on 1 October 2005. NECC formally stood up on 13 January 2006, as a Functional Commander for shore-based expeditionary type forces within the Navy. NECC serves as the single functional command for the Navy’s expeditionary forces and as central management for the readiness, resources, staffing, training and equipping of those forces. They consolidate, align and integrate diverse expeditionary practices, procedures, requirements and logistics in the battle space. As a command element and force provider for integrated maritime expeditionary missions, to include waterborne and shore anti-terrorism, force protection, theatre security cooperation and engagement and humanitarian assistance/disaster relief contingencies, upon request, NECC also supplements Coast Guard homeland security requirements while training and equipping forces to support mission requirements.

To accomplish this mission, NECC requires a dedicated and professional security force capable of meeting todays requirements. It must be flexible enough to adapt to new missions in support of Major Combat Operations (MCO), Maritime Security Operations (MSO), and Maritime Homeland Security (MHS)/Maritime Homeland Defense (MHD).

Maritime Expeditionary Security Force (MESF) which is comprised of two Group Commanders, MESG-ONE and MESG-TWO, is a major cornerstone of NECC’s efforts to field a force capable of executing all maritime security operations in the inland, coastal and near-shore environments.

MESG-1 is located in Imperial Beach, California. This is the headquarters for the unit and where some of the Expeditionary Equipment Readiness support is conducted.

MESG-2 is located on the Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek (JEBLC) Virginia Beach, Virginia. This is the headquarters for the unit and where some of the Expeditionary Equipment Readiness support is conducted.
