Rear Adm. Robert J. Bianchi (Ret), Chief Executive Officer, NEXCOM, and interim director and Chief Executive Officer, DeCA, announced this collaboration and participated in joint launch event on Monday, June 4 at NEX Oceana. "NEXCOM and DeCA teams have provided a win-win for our shared patrons," said Bianchi.
