Fleet Logistics Center Singapore Helps Prepare Pacific Partnership 17 for Success

16 February 2017

From Petty Officer 2nd Class Joshua Fulton

SINGAPORE -- Staff from the Navy Supply Systems Command, Feet Logistics Center (FLC) Site Singapore are conducting load-out and logistical support for USNS Fall River (T-EPF-4) in Singapore Feb. 16, initiating the final preparation phase for the 12th annual Pacific Partnership mission that will run from March through June.

USNS Fall River is the mission platform for Pacific Partnership 17, a multilateral mission that helps nations improve disaster response preparedness and capacity while enhancing partnerships throughout the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.

“We are handling all of the critical logistical support for Pacific Partnership, including husbanding services associated with the departure of Fall River from Singapore and the various port visits for each of the missions, lodging for the participating personnel, transportation, phones for communication purposes, engineering and medical supplies,” said Carolyn McCloskey, FLC Site Singapore Supervisory Contracting Officer, Husbanding Branch.

FLC Site Singapore manages the Navy’s supply system throughout South and Southeast Asia, providing logistical support to surface ships, submarines, aircraft, and expeditionary forces operating in the region. The Singapore team will manage all contracting actions associated with Pacific Partnership.

The logistical support provided by FLC Site Singapore throughout Pacific Partnership will enable the mission staff and team from Coastal Riverine Group ONE, Task Force 73 and Military Sealift Command Far East to focus on completing the day-to-day operations, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the mission.

“Historically, logistical support determines the success of any mission,” said Lt. Broward Maryan, deployed contracting officer for Pacific Partnership missions. “By providing complete and thorough logistical support throughout the mission, we enable our partners from CTF 73 and MSCFE to put all their energy into ensuring Pacific Partnership 17 is successfully carried out.”
