ASSISTANT COMMANDER for Navy Expeditionary Combat Enterprise (NECE) Support
William E. Bickert, Jr.
Deputy Commander, NAVSUP Global Logistics Support
Concept of Operations
NAVSUP's ACOM for NECE Support will coordinate across all NAVSUP commands to ensure Enterprise logistics capabilities fully support Expeditionary Force logistics requirements. Initial ACOM focus will include Information Technology (IT) logistics systems support, reviewing and establishing “Expeditionary Force-specific” NAVSUP policy and guidance, reviewing NECE contracting and contingency contracting requirements, and ensuring wholesale material support products are matched to NECE logistics gaps.
NAVSUP Logistics Operations Center (NAVSUP LOG OPS CEN) will play a key role in support to the ACOM in providing enhanced logistics support to NECE, particularly in the areas of logistics plans development and munitions support. The ACOM is a member of the NECE Board of Directors and will provide ongoing support and performance status through that forum. The ACOM will also maintain oversight of NAVSUP/NECE performance based agreements, and will ensure participation in barrier removal efforts as appropriate.
Principal Objective
Focus and coordinate NAVSUP resources on Navy Expeditionary Combat Enterprise logistics requirements to enhance NECE warfighting capabilities and overall logistics support effectiveness where possible.
Short-term Objectives
