VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- Naval Special Warfare Group Two Logistics and Support Unit celebrated their 10th anniversary, Oct. 19, at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek – Fort Story in Virginia Beach, Va.
Proudly celebrating their 10-year anniversary, Sailors and DoD civilians gathered at the Navy SEAL Heritage Center for a celebration with a cake cutting ceremony and luncheon. Five plank owners who commissioned the logistics command, known for short as LOGSU, were in attendance to the ceremony. Out of the five, three were active duty sailors during the commissioning, one of which is still on active duty.
According Cmdr. Mark W. Morgan, LOGSU2 commanding officer, the command is comprised of a highly diverse, motivated and dedicated group of sailors. A total of approximately 390 personnel, including 100 sailors temporarily assigned to various destinations, work within eight departments.
“Within these eight departments, we provide all aspects of combat service support,” said Morgan, “from medical, supply, weapons, Seabee support or Navy construction force work, such as carpenters, mechanics, electricians and plumbers to heavy equipment operators, to the multi-purpose canine unit.”
Morgan said, LOGSU2’s primary mission is to provide logistical and other support services to NSWG2 and its subordinate units in order to directly support NSW operations and training at home and forward deployed to the European, Central, Africa, and Southern commands.
“With the growth of the SEAL community so grows the NSW support community,” Morgan said. “We continue to adjust to changing operational environments and we must continue to find innovative ways to support the war fighters,” Morgan said.
Morgan said the LOGSU command has matured over the years, taking advantage of best practices and lessons learned.
“We have certainly matured over the last 10 years and we are still maturing every day in how we provide support to the SEAL teams. It is an ever-changing command, as the missions change for the SEALs, we will change as well to adapt,” Morgan said.
Morgan said the diversity in people and skill sets continue to be the strength of the command, and he said it’s what makes LOGSU2 a great place to serve.
“This is a challenging, but a very rewarding challenging job,” Morgan said. “One of the most diverse organizations that I have ever worked in.”
