Tactical Defense Media, Inc. Nothing carries greater imperative to naval operations than the uninterrupted re-supply of PO Box 12115 mission assets across sea zones both territorial and international. In an exclusive interview to Silver Spring, MD 20908-0115 USA NP&FP, Commander, NavalSupply Systems Command and Navy Supply Corps (NAVSUP), Chief Telephone: (301) 974-9792 RADM Jonathan Yuen speaks to a variety of challenges NAVSUP has in ensuring that fleet Fax: (443) 637-3714 www.TacticalDefenseMedia.com replenishment requirements set forth by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) are fulfilled. In [email protected] addressing re-supply, one must also consider the energy required to make it happen. As such, [email protected] NP&FP spoke with NAVSUP Energy Director, CAPT Edwin Bogdanowicz, about ongoing efforts [email protected] to maximize fuel efficiency across the Navy’s surface ship fleet. Some of this effort involves the testing and re-testing of fuel alternatives as potential replacements for existing fuels. The Tactical Defense Media challenge in many cases is not showing that an alternative can make a difference but that an Publications alternative is both production-ready and cost-effective for operational employment. Energy not only drives force re-supply but also the weapons systems that enable force protection to occur. From that standpoint, much of what drives the mission for the Navy’s Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) and Naval Expeditionary Combat Forces (NECF) involves moving the manpower necessary to conduct explosive, security and physical hazards neutralization missions in shaping a secure environment throughout the global littorals. From a holistic force perspective, readers gain insight with an update on current Navy Energy priorities directly from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations & Environment. In a special to NP&FP/DoD P&E, Acting Assistant Secretary Mr. Steve Iselin speaks to key challenges the Navy is facing in achieving energy security assurance at U.S. naval installations to enable full continuity of mission operations.
