Who We Are and What We Do

Expeditionary Combat Readiness Command (ECRC) provides oversight of the processing, equipping, training, deployment, in-theater support and re-deployment of over 6,500 Sailors in non-traditional, non-naval expeditionary missions in support of overseas contingency operations (OCO).

ECRC Individual Augmentee (IA) Operations Mission Statement – IA Sailors and Their Missions First
ECRC provides administration, training, equipping and transportation for all IA personnel and also manages the mobilization of Reserve Component Sailors returning to active duty. From the moment a Sailor departs their home station, whether it is a Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC) or their parent command, ECRC works to support Sailors and their families during the tour of duty. 

• ECRC directly assists IA and global support assignment (GSA) IA Sailors by ensuring they are properly uniformed and equipped while coordinating with the U.S. Army to ensure they get the proper stateside training.

• ECRC provides Navy liaison officer (LNO) teams to provide direct assistance to Sailors at a pre-deployment training site.

• ECRC assigns action officers (AOs) to IA Sailors and provisional units grouped by mission. AO’s review missions and training pipelines and communicate directly with IA Sailors throughout the mobilization process to ensure that IAs are fully ready to deploy both medically and administratively.

• ECRC provides logistic support by coordinating IA Sailors’ return home through the redeployment/demobilization process, helping get Sailors home expeditiously and safely.
