Blount Island Command contractors offload the USNS PFC Dewayne T. Williams along a slipway Aug. 12, 2025, at Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island in Florida, following its return from prepositioning warfighting equipment overseas. Operated by Military Sealift Command, the vessel supported geographic commands during regional exercises, including Native Fury in Saudi Arabia and Balikatan in the Philippines. Blount Island Command deploys technical advisory and assistance teams worldwide to operationalize equipment, troubleshoot issues, enhance capabilities and sustain readiness in high-stakes environments. The Marine Corps Platform Integration Center’s RFID-based digital tagging system, developed at Blount Island, provides real-time tracking of mission-critical gear during slipway offloads and at forward sites, ensuring commanders have rapid, accurate visibility of assets.
