NIOC Colorado Celebrates 25th Anniversary

On November 1, 2020, Navy Information Operations Command proudly celebrates its 25th Anniversary. The command began as the humble Navy Field Office Denver. Under the command of an Officer in Charge, Sailors working in temporary trailers established the command’s roots.

Based on the efforts of these first Sailors, Navy Field Office Denver gained notoriety for its effectiveness, professionalism, and outstanding product.

In early 1993, the office was upgraded to a detachment of Naval Security Group Activity Fort Meade, Maryland. On November 1st, 1995, this detachment became a full-fledged Naval Security Group Activity under the command of a Commanding Officer. The command was considered a subordinate unit to the Commander, Naval Security Group.

The command’s original mission statement follows: “The mission of NSGA Denver is to provide a trained, qualified, and mission-ready force to support the war-fighter, site activities, and military commanders.”
