The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) serves as the supply command for the United States Navy for providing supplies, services, and support to both the Navy and the United States Marine Corps.
Located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, the NAVSUP/Navy Supply Corps team oversees a wide range of responsibilities, including supply chain management, material support, supply operations, ordnance, contracting, resale, fuel, transportation, security assistance, and addressing quality of life matters for naval forces. This encompasses various services such as food service, postal services, Navy Exchanges, and the movement of household goods.[1]
The Naval Supply Systems Command was formed in 1962 under the name of the Naval Fleet Material Support Office (FMSO), later being renamed to Navy Supply Information Systems Activity (NAVSISA) and ultimately becoming Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) in 1966.
As of June 2023, Rear Admiral Kenneth W. Epps assumed the role of Commander for NAVSUP.[2]
In addition to its headquarters, NAVSUP consists of four major organizations and 11 commands situated across the globe.
