On Jan. 18, 2024, Capt. M.W. Meno presented BU3 Corey Smith with a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal at quarters for muster for meritorious service. While serving as builder third class for the United States Naval Mobile Construction Battalion Four (NMCB-4) in October 2023, Petty Officer Smith’s call to action resulted in saving a human life at Pittsburgh International Airport. Upon hearing a call for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation-qualified person, he immediately rushed to the scene and identified a victim collapsed on the ground, not breathing and without a pulse. Petty Officer Smith directed someone to grab an automated external defibrillator and another to call 911 before beginning cardiopulmonary resuscitation. At roughly compression 47, the victim regained consciousness, and he stayed with him until being relieved by paramedics. Petty Officer Smith’s superlative performance, steadfast perseverance, and outstanding devotion to duty reflected credit on him, upholding the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. Quarters for muster, instruction, and inspection is the time Navy commands set aside to communicate face-to-face for accountability, impart information, recognize good performance, and conduct routine inspections. Naval Construction Group One (NCG-1) operates from Port Hueneme, California, and serves as the immediate superior in command (ISIC) for its assigned forces. NCG1 leads and manages the overall capability and readiness of Naval Construction Regiments (NCRs), Naval Mobile Construction Battalions (NMCBs), Construction Battalion Maintenance Units (CBMUs), and Underwater Construction Teams (UCTs). NCG1 is responsible for manning, training, equipping, and deploying combat-ready Naval Construction Force (NCF) units in support of combatant commanders (CCDRs) and Navy component commanders (NCCs). NCG1 provides program management and oversight in support of subordinate units and supports the Navy Expeditionary Combat Enterprise Force Development efforts. NCG1 provides the required engineering support that the Navy and nation need to construct and maintain base facilities, repair battle-damaged facilities, conduct defensive operations as required, and meet disaster preparedness and recovery missions
