Navy Expeditionary Support

Abstract

Expeditionary commands are unique elements within the United States Navy. Unlike ships, submarines and aviation squadrons, expeditionary commands do not deploy as a single unit. These units will have personnel deploy to different locations at different times for varying durations. Because of this unique deployment structure, the normal logistics delivery method was not the most effective method for delivering logistical support. After careful study and preparation, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) forces commissioned a logistical support unit which quickly proved to be a more operationally effective method of logistical support to expeditionary units. This new command designated, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Expeditionary Support Unit TWO, provides financial, requisition, inventory, vehicle and boat maintenance, dive support, medical, communication and weapons to all East Coast EOD units.
