Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) announced its May Civilian of the Month, May 1.

Elaine Dalton, who is assigned to NECC's comptroller team, was selected for her financial management support and expertise to Naval Construction Group 2, Combat Camera, and the Central Issuance Facility at Cheatham Annex in Williamsburg, Virginia.

"Thank you for all of the congratulations and compliments," said Dalton, who added it is nice to feel appreciated. "I appreciate it very much."

In addition, Dalton is responsible for providing detailed financial guidance and resource management on budget formulation and execution for her units assigned under NECC. Nancy Harned, executive director, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, reflected on the impact of Dalton's performance to the expeditionary force.

"She analyzes funding requirement requests for relevance and accuracy, and issues funding documents under several appropriation types ensuring that they are in accordance with public laws and financial improvement audit readiness guidelines," said Harned.

Harned added that Dalton recently assumed additional workload by managing the financials and execution for Expeditionary Combat Readiness Center. As part of her coverage, she took on processing manual invoices for ECRC's Warrior Transition Program contract which provides training, meals and transportation for returning deployers and individual augmentees. Her diligent work solved some issues with this process and identified better and faster methods for the future.

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.
