Capt. Brett Hershman, Commander, Military Sealift Command Pacific (MSCPAC) and Commander Task Force 33, awarded the annual Commodore’s Cup to the Military Sealift Command Pacific Headquarters Unit (MSCPAC HQ) during a ceremony at the MSCPAC headquarters in San Diego.
Created in 2008, the Commodore’s Cup recognizes outstanding contributions of the Naval Reserve Units under the command of MSCPAC to include readiness, support and Esprit de Corps. Selection is made from nomination packages submitted by each of the three MSCPAC reserve units. The packages highlight unit mission support, training, manning, physical readiness and individual readiness.
Throughout 2018, the 10 officers and 9 enlisted personnel assigned to MSCPAC HQ provided a total of 720 total man-days of active duty support for MSCPAC operations, exercises, direct staff support, and additional contributory support. The unit served as CTF 173, the headquarters task force, overseeing all Combat Logistics Force vessels supporting the multi-national Rim of the Pacific 2018 exercise. Working closely with CTF-33 Operations and Logistics Planners, CTF 173 led the planning efforts for all MSCPAC operations, resulting in the safe and successful execution of sea logistics requirements for 101 Underway Replenishment / Replenishment at Sea throughout the month long exercise.
“The successful execution of RIMPAC 2018 was a direct result of meticulous operational planning, continued collaboration and communication with MSCPAC AC and other supporting units (MSC EPUs), and a robust training plan and workup cycle,” said Capt. Lloyd Chee, MSCPAC HQ commanding officer during RIMPAC 2018. “MSCPAC HQ personnel are ready, adaptable, and responsive Combat Logistics Force experts and consistently demonstrated both pride and professionalism representing MSCPAC.”
MSCPAC HQ has been awarded the Commodore’s Cup two times since the award’s creation.
“I am very privileged to recognize such an outstanding group of citizen Sailors like those who make-up our Headquarters Unit,” said Hershman. “These dedicated professionals are an integral part of supporting the MSC mission in the Pacific area of responsibility, and are very deserving of recognition for a job well done.”
Members of MSCPAC HQ are currently supporting Operation Pacific Sentry and are preparing for Operation Pacific Blitz later this year.
