Nagata 1-1- 57 mmmMMMm LCDR J, Neuheiscl Assistant Supply Officer Ready, Resourceful, Responsive The Supply department ' s goal is to deliver combat capability through logistics to Navy, Marine, Joint and Allied forces, while providing outstanding customer service. To accomplish these bold mottos a large deck Supply ship is organized with two sides. One side provides the creature comforts and quality of life support required to enhance morale services and the other provides the critical readiness that allows us to deliver combat capabilities efficiently and effectively. Together these two pieces form a single -g source Supply, critical to the mission accomplishment ' of the USS BonHomme Richard. This deployment offered unique opportunities to exercise both sides of Supply which supported the intense war effort associated with Operation Iraqi Freedom. All efforts by the members of the Supply Team were critical to our successful mission accomplishment... BRAVO ZULU! ice. , ;iiieiii mi ? ] r Gregg Kinoiuuonth LT M. Krisman LTJG E. Jolo a LTJG L.
