DAHLGREN, Va. - Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS) announced its Civilian of the Quarter (COQ) for the first quarter of 2015 at an awards ceremony at the Arleigh Burke auditorium onboard Naval Support Facility Dahlgren April 23.

"I was astounded when I first received the news," said Human Resources (HR) Liaison Karen Martin. "I work with a great team and I'm very grateful for this award."

Martin has been part of the manpower and personnel team since June 2010.

"I love my job," she said. "I feel that the work I do positively impacts the CSCS community. I provide human resources policy oversight, I am responsible for recruiting, staffing and placement, and manage awards and classification of civilian positions for headquarters and its 14 learning sites."

Martin's supervisor, Scott Russell, director for Manpower and Personnel, nominated her for the award.

"Karen has given so much to this organization," Russell explained. "Every day she arrives prepared to make a difference and she has. This particular quarter, she exceeded all expectations and is most certainly deserving of this award. Karen has provided the domain with outstanding HR services and we are quite fortunate to have her at CSCS."

CSCS' mission is to develop and deliver surface ship combat systems training to achieve surface warfare superiority. CSCS headquarters' staff oversees 14 learning sites and provides nearly 70,000 hours of curriculum for 700 annual courses to more than 40,000 Sailors. CSCS delivers specialized training for officer and enlisted Sailors required to tactically operate, maintain, and employ shipboard and shore-based weapons, sensors, and command and control systems utilized in today's navy.
