Having served as an officer in the US Navy, Lloyd G. LeCain leads a heavy construction and engineering firm with numerous military contracting assignments. An instructor at the Naval Readiness Center at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), Lloyd LeCain has had a classroom at the Center dedicated to him.
Spanning the operating facilities of Point Mugu, San Nicolas Island, and Port Hueneme, the naval installation was established in 1941 at the height of World War II. It has a strategic location in a coastal region of Southern California that is still non-encroached. In total, 19,000 personnel are supported across 80 tenant commands that include multiple warfare centers and deployable units such as the West Coast E-2C Hawkeyes and Pacific Seabees. As reported in the Tri Country Sentry, the mayor of Oxnard highlighted NBVC’s positive local economic impact in a State of the City address from July 2021. NBVC is Ventura County’s leading employer, and nearly 40 percent of NBVC’s employees reside in Oxnard. These employees contribute to the economy through homeownership and various retail activities. As a regional economic contributor, the base is a major component of the Regional Defense Plan for the 21st Century (RDP 21). Bringing together local leaders, RDP 21 spans countrywide advocacy efforts culminating in an annual lobbying trip to Washington DC. In July 2021, NBVC took a step toward a new era of readiness and deployment by welcoming Capt. Robert “Barr” Kimnach III as NBVC command. One new initiative that the incoming leader sets in motion involve positioning NBVC as the US Navy’s unmanned aircraft systems master-base.
