Fort Pickett, Va. (Jan. 23, 2007) - A Sailor assigned to Riverine Squadron One (RIVRON-1) based at Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, mans a M-240 port side machine gun aboard a small unit riverine craft (SURC), during a unit-level training exercise. RIVRON-1 is part of the newly formed Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC). NECC integrates all warfighting requirements for expeditionary combat and combat support elements. This transformation allows for standardized training, manning and equipping of Sailors who will participate in the global war on terrorism as part of the joint force. It also results in more capable, responsive and effective expeditionary Sailors. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Mandy McLaurin (RELEASED)
