You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group (NAVELSG)''' is a [[United States Navy]] echelon IV component of [[Navy Expeditionary Combat Command]], delivering [[Military logistics|logistics]] capabilities with active and mobilization-ready [[United States Navy Reserve|Reserve Force]] personnel and equipment to theater commanders.

==Mission==
Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group (NAVELSG) is an enabler of Maritime Prepositioning Forces (MPF), [[Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore]] (JLOTS) operations, and maritime forces ashore, providing expeditionary cargo handling services for surface, air, and terminal operations, tactical fueling, and ordnance handling/reporting in support of worldwide Naval, Joint, inter-agency, and combined forces/organization.

NAVELSG is responsible for providing expeditionary logistic capabilities for the Navy, primarily within the maritime domain of the [[Littoral zone|littorals]], and conducts surface and air cargo handling missions, cargo terminal and warehouse operations, fuels distribution, postal services, customs inspections, ordnance reporting and handling, and expeditionary communications.

NAVELSG is an "Operational Reserve" command organized and staffed to provide a wide range of supply and transportation support critical for peacetime support, crisis response, humanitarian and combat service support missions.

==History==
===WWII and Establishment of "Special Naval Construction Battalions"===
[[File:Stevedore training on the mock ship at Camp Allen, 1943.jpg|thumb|Stevedore training at the Seabee's
training center [[Camp Allen]], VA in 1943.]]
The U.S. Navy's first "Combat Stevedores" were the 41 "Special" [[Seabee|Naval Construction Battalions]], created during WWII.<ref>Special Naval Construction Battalion Cruisebooks,NHHC, U.S. Navy Seabee Museum webpage [https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/museums/seabee/explore/wwii-cruisebooks/specials-cruisebooks.html] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190423234323/https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/museums/seabee/explore/wwii-cruisebooks/specials-cruisebooks.html |date=23 April 2019 ))</ref>  Their primary function was stevedoring in active theaters of war. The men received the standard mix of Navy/Marine Corps training that Seabees received, after which they went through stevedore schools with complete mock ships built on dry land at the Seabee training centers. 15 of the original battalions were [[Racial segregation in the United States Armed Forces|segregated]] units; by 1945 they were among the Navy's first integrated units. The downsizing at the end of the war brought about the decommissioning of all 41 battalions.

The Special Battalions saw combat in the [[Pacific War]]. Of note were the actions of the 17th Special (segregated) at [[Battle of Peleliu|Peleliu]] 15-18 Sept 1944.  The Japanese mounted a counter-attack 0200 D-day nite.  By the time it was over, nearly the entire 17th had volunteered to carry ammunition to the front lines, bring wounded back, fill where needed on the line and man weapons which had lost their crews. The 17th Special remained with the 7th Marines until the right flank had been secured D-plus3.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/museums/Seabee/Cruisebooks/wwiicruisebooks/specials-cruisebooks/17%20Special.pdf |title=17th Special NCB cruisebook |website=Naval History and Heritage Command |date= |page=29 |accessdate=18 October 2017 |archive-date=22 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180622083734/https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/museums/Seabee/Cruisebooks/wwiicruisebooks/specials-cruisebooks/17%20Special.pdf |url-status=live ))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=http://worldwar2database.com/gallery/wwii1431 |title=Seabees of 17th Special Naval Construction Battalion Wait to Assist Wounded of 7th Marines |website=World War II Database |date= |accessdate=18 October 2017 |archive-date=15 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170815100834/http://worldwar2database.com/gallery/wwii1431 |url-status=live ))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=http://worldwar2database.com/gallery/wwii1429 |title=African-American Marines of 16th Field Depot Rest on Peleliu |website=World War II Database |date= |accessdate=18 October 2017 |archive-date=15 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180315222635/http://worldwar2database.com/gallery/wwii1429 |url-status=live ))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/museums/Seabee/UnitListPages/SPECIALS/17%20SNCB.pdf |title=17 Special Naval Construction Battalion |website=Naval History and Heritage Command |accessdate=18 October 2017 |archive-date=22 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180622083817/https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/museums/Seabee/UnitListPages/SPECIALS/17%20SNCB.pdf |url-status=live ))</ref><ref>Princeton University Library, Marine Corps Chevron, Vol 3 Number 48, 2 December 1944 [http://historicperiodicals.princeton.edu/historic/cgi-bin/historic?a=d&d=MarineCorpsChevron19441202-01.2.34&e=-------en-20--1--txt-IN-----#] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200212155234/https://historicperiodicals.princeton.edu/historic/cgi-bin/historic?a=d&d=MarineCorpsChevron19441202-01.2.34&e=-------en-20--1--txt-IN----- |date=12 February 2020 ))</ref>

===Re-establishment and Cold War===
Navy Cargo Handling Battalion ONE (NCHB 1) was commissioned 1 October 1949 and was organized after the Special Construction Battalions of World War II.<ref name= "NCHB1">((Cite web |url=http://www.public.navy.mil/NECC/nchb1/Pages/Commandhistory.aspx |title=NCHB1 Command web-page |access-date=29 June 2018 |archive-date=29 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180629211216/http://www.public.navy.mil/NECC/nchb1/Pages/Commandhistory.aspx |url-status=live ))</ref>  In 1956 the battalion was an element of [[Operation Deep Freeze]] and has deployed to Antarctica numerous times in the years since.<ref name= "NCHB1"/>

In 1965, the Cargo Handling Battalions were deployed to augment [[Task Force 76|Task Group 76.4]] in the discharge of ships' cargo for [[I Corps (South Vietnam)]] of the [[III Marine Amphibious Force]]".<ref>Story of DaNang.pages - Class of 1957 webpage, Some recollections of DaNang, US Navy Supply Corps [http://1957.usnaclasses.com/styled-6/files/story-of-danang_pages.pdf] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180620001101/http://1957.usnaclasses.com/styled-6/files/story-of-danang_pages.pdf |date=20 June 2018 ))</ref>

===Post-Cold War===
[[Image:NCHB-1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|NCHB-1 in Iraq. NCHB-1 is currently the only active duty NCHB.]]
More recently, the lessons learned from [[Operation Desert Storm]] identified a requirement for a single, multi-functional organization able to provide flexible, deployable transportation and supply support logistics services in any area of the world. Established in 1993, the Naval Expeditionary Logistics Support Group (NAVELSG) was built upon the foundation of the Navy Cargo Handling Force (NCHF). The NCHF originated in the 1970s with the establishment of six Reserve Navy Cargo Handling Battalions to support the Marine Corps Maritime Prepositioning Force. The number of battalions grew to 12 in the 1980s.

NCHBs deployed to [[Afghanistan]] and [[Iraq]] during the [[War on terror]].
===Current===
[[File:NCHB14 ULTRA .jpg|thumb|NCHB-14 personnel engaging in pre-deployment training exercises in 2016.]]
NCHBs deploy on a rotational basis around the world in support of national strategic objectives.

Sailors assigned to units of the Navy Expeditionary Logistics Group are eligible to earn designation as [[Enlisted Expeditionary Warfare Specialist]] after several months of training and an oral board.
==Subordinate Units==
NAVELSG (Echelon IV), directs four Navy Expeditionary Logistics Regiments (NELR) (Echelon V) and their subordinate Navy Cargo Handling Battalions (NCHBs)(Echelon VI). Additionally, each NELR has an Expeditionary Communications Detachment (ECD).
