Chief of the Supply Corps RADM Justin D. McCarthy visited the recently commissioned Naval Special Warfare Group 2, Logistics and Support Unit, commonly known as LOGSU 2, at Little Creek, Va.

LOGSU 2 was formed approximately one year ago during a major reorganization of Naval Special Warfare Group 2 (NSWG 2), resulting in the consolidation of its support infrastructure.

During his visit, RADM McCarthy was able to tour the supply operation, which coordinates the logistics needs for all SEAL Teams on the East Coast, as well as Naval Special Warfare Units 2, 4, and 10, located in Stuttgart, Germany, Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, and Rota, Spain, respectively.

They also went to the SEAL Team Compound, where the Chief talked to the storekeepers who run the Supply Department. The visit culminated in an office call with the NSWG 2 Commodore, CAPT David B. Morrison.

During his visit, RADM McCarthy was able to tour the NAB Little Creek Rifle Range with LOGSU 2's Commanding Officer CDR Steve Gill. The Chief shot a variety of modern weapons used by Navy SEALs, including the MP-5 submachine gun.

Although its name would suggest otherwise, LOGSU 2 actually contains more than just a supply department. With civilians, officers, and enlisted personnel from all communities, from SEALs to Seabees, from storekeepers, personnelmen, and yeomen to aircrew survival equipment-men, gunners mates, and enginemen, LOGSU 2 contains just about every Navy specialty needed to keep up with the fastpaced demand of its SEAL customers. Here is a breakdown of LOGSU 2's eight departments and their roles:

* Administration: The Administrative department provides administrative, legal, pay and personnel support to more than 230 command personnel. Additionally, they provide information in the area of educational services, rights and benefits and manage the command military manpower and postal services.
