SINGAPORE (Nov. 12, 2022) – Students and their families from the Stamford American International School and members of the American Association of Singapore, with assistance from The American Club to collect donations, treated Military Sealift Command civil service mariners and Sailors currently operating in the Indo-Pacific Region care packages, complete with homemade baked goods. Crews aboard USNS Cesar Chavez (T-AKE 14), USNS Tippecanoe (T-AO 199), USNS Big Horn (T-AO 198), USS Oakland (LCS 24) and USS Charleston (LCS 18) received shoeboxes filled with games, food and supplies. Like their active-duty counterparts, civil service mariners serving aboard Military Sealift Command ships spend extended periods away from friends and family as they are deployed around the world. MSC Far East ensures approximately 50 ships in the Indo-Pacific region, are manned, trained and equipped to deliver essential supplies, fuel, cargo, and equipment to warfighters, both at sea and on shore. Task force commanders, like Task Force 73, employ these ships to ensure mission accomplishment. Commander, Logistics Group Western Pacific (COMLOG WESTPAC)/Task Force 73 is the U.S. Navy's premiere maritime mobile logistics organization that supports units conducting missions in the U.S. 7th Fleet Area of Operations. Located in Southeast Asia, COMLOG WESTPAC, in conjunction with Military Sealift Command Far East, logistically resupplies deployed units in the Western Pacific, including U.S. Navy ships and Allies and partners.
