Utilitiesman 1st Class Steven Schumacher is presented the Navy and Marine Corps Medal by Rear Adm. Dean VanderLey, commander, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, at the Silver Strand Training Complex in San Diego, June 27. The Navy and Marine Corps Medal is the highest non-combat decoration awarded by the Department of the Navy, recognizing acts of heroism that exemplify unwavering dedication in the absence of enemy conflict. While returning to Naval Amphibious Base Coronado after conducting nighttime maritime training off the coast of Southern California, Schumacher and his team's vessel struck a submerged jetty, resulting in injuries among the crew, including one Sailor who was thrown into the water facedown, and unconscious. Despite sustaining injuries himself, Schumacher dove into the water to retrieve his teammate and brought him back to the vessel, where he was able to receive care from trained medical Sailors. His swift and decisive actions demonstrated teamwork and resilience, and bravery - reflecting the valor and dedication that define the U.S. Navy and Naval Special Warfare (NSW). NSW provides maritime special operations force capabilities to enable Joint Force lethality and survivability inside denied and contested areas. Share
