  • Supply Corps Senior Leadership
    JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2017 Supply Corps Senior Leadership Happy New Year! As we begin 2017, I am optimistic that we will build on the many successes of 2016, and that we are well-positioned as a community to meet the challenges and leverage the opportunities ahead of us. One of the ways in which we are so well-posi- tioned is the strength of our team, and it is my pleasure to introduce our new Command Master Chief, Thaddeus T. Wright, who joined NAVSUP on November 2, 2016. Master A Message from the Chief Wright brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the command and the Chief of Supply Corps enlisted community, as well as a fresh, new perspective to the NAVSUP team. This edition of the Supply Corps Newsletter features articles from the Supply Corps Senior Leadership Symposium held in Leesburg, Virginia, in November 2016. Flag Officers, Senior Executive Service members, Captains, and Captain-selects met to review the current state of our community, explore key initiatives, and prepare for 2017 and beyond. Topics such as our alignment with the Navy’s Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority, how we plan and execute in support of the full range of military operations, the role of mentor- ship in our community, and the increasing scope of our expeditionary support, highlight not only how our supply community is evolving, but also how our mission of providing world class supplies, services, and quality of life support to the warfighter is ever-enduring. Whether you are or may one day be part of our Reserve Component or FTS Supply Corps team, I encourage you to attend the upcoming National RC Supply Corps Sympo- sium in Dallas, Texas, May 20 and 21.

  • US Navy Supply Corps
    SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2017 SUPPOs Supplying the Fight A Message from the Chief of Supply Corps Recognizing the central importance of supply to establishing the Navy, President George Washington laid the foundation for the U.S. Navy Supply Corps in 1775 with the appointment of Tench Francis, a Philadelphia businessman, as the country’s first Purveyor of Public Supplies. Francis provided vital support to the first Navy ships, and started our tradition of selfless service. The Navy’s trusted providers of supplies, our supply officers (SUPPOs) keep operations running smoothly to support the mission. But they can’t do it alone. Working as a team with their skilled and experienced enlisted members, our SUPPOs are experts in our field who know inventory and financial management, food, retail, postal operations, and disbursing management. They are leaders and problem solvers who tackle complex challenges to implement effective and efficient management solutions, ensuring our customers’ needs are met. To be “Ready for Sea,” we must be professionally ready with the skills to operate in all our lines of operation. We also need character readiness, demonstrated by our integrity, accountabili- ty, initiative, and toughness. Lastly, we need to be individually ready; to be fit, healthy, and ready to meet the demands of the fight. This issue provides insights from our SUPPOs’ important work as they meet the unique needs of their various commands. Like the pursuers and paymasters who have gone before, SUPPOs uphold our rich heritage, and embrace their responsibilities to support the warfighter with a servant’s heart. Our SUPPO’s success depends on their character and competence, knowledge of the shore infrastructure, relationships with our professional civilian workforce, and on the enlisted members they lead and serve with.

  • Ready-For-Sea Modular Course & Handbook
    1 United States Naval Reserve Intelligence Program Ready-for-Sea Modular Course & Handbook RELEASE 4.0 Prepared by: Naval Reserve Intelligence Program Reserve Intelligence Area Four Naval Air Station North Island San Diego, California April 09, 1999 2 Introduction & Acknowledgments This course is designed to provide the minimum essential information for drilling naval reservists prior to performing an annual training period (AT) at Sea. Naval Reserve intelligence professionals can expect to go to sea on a variety of platforms—everything from small frigates to aircraft carriers. Although the platform may vary, the goals and missions of intelligence support to deployed ships of the fleet do not. For purposes of instruction, this course uses the example of an aircraft carrier intelligence center (CVIC), the ultimate example of afloat intelligence incorporation, in order to present the broadest possible exposure to shipboard intelligence. The goal of this program is to allow each reservist to report aboard, integrate quickly into the CVIC (or other intelligence spaces), fully utilize every hour onboard for training, and finally, to do all of the above safely and effectively. The course begins with the basics of survival aboard a U.S. Navy warship. Subsequent modules will provide a baseline of useful technical information to make your time onboard effective and rewarding. Course coverage begins with a description of the national intelligence community and proceeds module by module working down to what you will need to know on a watch-to-watch basis in the intelligence spaces aboard a carrier (CVIC). Enough information will be provided to allow you to navigate within the ship and within the functional areas of CVIC.
