The Naval Supply Systems Command is working to meet the challenge Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Vern Clark set forth in the 2002 edition of Navy's Vision ... Presence ... Power. ADM Clark said, "To remain ready to fight and win, we must extract the maximum advantage from the resources provided us and demand a high rate of return on our investments. Our organizations, systems, and processes must be structured and organized to deliver a combat-capable Navy ready to sail in harm's way ... around the clock and around the world!"

In a recent Flash from the Commander, RADM Justin D. McCarthy, Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command and Chief of Supply Corps, spelled out the efforts of NAVSUP's senior leadership to identify ways to better structure and align NAVSUP to do its part in meeting the CNO's challenge. "This is part of a larger Navywide initiative to obtain sufficient funds to allow recapitalization and long-term sustainment of our fleet. We are calling this effort our Transformation initiative," he wrote.

NAVSUP has embarked on a journey to better structure and align the organisation to most effectively and efficiently deliver combat capability through logistics. This Transformation initiative will also contribute to the Navy's need for an additional $10 billion annually to help recapitalize our aging fleet. This effort includes looking at how the organization is structured and organized and what functions are performed.

At the end of October the NAVSUP Corporate Board gathered to listen to recommendations developed during the 60-day exploratory period of this initiative. These proposals were put forth by team leaders whose members represented a cross section of the NAVSUP enterprise. Senior leadership, commanding officers, executive directors, fleet representatives, and other stakeholders were active participants throughout the meeting.

Proposals were presented regarding NAVSUP's structure, its customer alignment, and functional alignment. The team recommendations were provided to field activities for review and comment. Commander NAVSUP reviewed the comments submitted with the core transformation team and made decisions to proceed with the team recommendations with some adjustments based on inputs received from the field.

Structural change decisions that have been sent for higher approval include:

* Downsizing and eliminating or aligning headquarters functions that are redundant and better performed at the field level. This includes aligning NAVSUP Support Services (SUP 05) under the Commander, Navy Exchange Service Command, and the Information Technology directorate (SUP 06) with Navy Supply Information Systems Activity (NAVSISA).
