U.S. Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) Yokosuka
will officially change its name to
NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Yokosuka July 1.

This is one of the final published images of FISC Yokosuka under the old name. As part of the “One NAVSUP, One Enterprise” initiative, FISC Yokosuka is being renamed to NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Yokosuka July 1.

The new name for FISC Yokosuka – as well as all the other seven FISC commands around the world – is being changed to better emphasize the FISC specific roles in the NAVSUP global logistics support enterprise.

This change is part of the Naval Supply Systems Command overall “One NAVSUP… One Enterprise” branding initiative to provide customers and stakeholders a clearer understanding of the capabilities of NAVSUP organizations.

According to NAVSUP commander, Rear Adm. Mike Lyden, ‘One NAVSUP…One Enterprise’ connects NAVSUP global logistics support network construct where each activity executes its mission as a node of the network, vice an individual entity. FISC Yokosuka’s next, higher echelon command, Commander Fleet and Industrial Supply Centers, is also changing its command moniker July 1, to NAVSUP Global Logistics Support, as well.

“FISCs emphasize the capabilities in the NAVSUP global logistics support business lines, helping customers easily navigate the products and services available within our organization,” said COMFISCS Rear Adm. Mark Heinrich.

FISC Yokosuka’s 11 sites and detachments throughout the Western Pacific will also change names, each to be known as “NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers.”

“Our names are changing but our mission remains to deliver the right operational logistics solutions to the Navy and our joint war fighters,” said Heinrich. “The COMFISCS team of military, civilian logistics professionals, contractors and foreign nationals located around the world will continue to supply the Navy’s ships, aircraft, shore commands and expeditionary forces with the essential items needed to execute their missions.”

Hip, hip, hurray!
