NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella Commanding Officer, Capt. Alsandro Turner
B
uon Giorno and Greetings. I am Captain Alsandro Turner, Commanding Officer of Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center (NAVSUP FLC) Sigonella, one of Naval Air Station Sigonella’s tenant commands. My wife, our daughters and I are truly excited to have joined this close-knit and welcoming community. Since arriving only a few months ago, we’ve met many fantastic people, both European and American, who’ve helped us in a variety of ways as we settle in. Thanks to them, we are quickly coming to know Sicily, NAS Sigonella, and NAVSUP FLC Sigonella as a true home. It is a great honor to lead the hundreds of men and women who make up NAVSUP FLC Sigonella. In this article, I’ll share with you a brief overview of who we are and what we do. NAVSUP FLC Sigonella’s mission is to provide netted logistics, business and support services to U.S. Naval, Joint, and Allied forces through partnerships and sound business practices in order to set theater readiness with materials accountability. Simply stated, our job is to ensure that you - our Navy, Joint and NATO Warfighters - have the tools you need to be ready to fight tonight, sustain tomorrow and always!
To accomplish this mission of readiness, our expert logisticians deliver products and services that enable your combat capabilities and impact you and your families’ quality of life while stationed OCONUS. We meet these obligations through enduring locations, forward operating sites and cooperative security locations across Western and Eastern Europe and Africa.
“Our job is to
ensure that you have the tools you need to be ready to fight tonight, sustain tomorrow and always ” Many of you have likely interacted with our Fleet Mail Center and post offices that manage the reliable and secure movement of your mail. You’ve also worked with NAVSUP’s personal property team before, during and after your PCS move to handle the movement of your household goods. We know how important these two missions are to making you feel at home in an overseas environment. Beyond these quality-of-life services, we also manage and operate NAS Sigonella’s aircraft refueling systems, hazardous material centers, contracting
services, customs clearance services, transportation, material support, and logistics support center. Put simply, our job is to ensure that all of the logistics behind the scenes are coordinated efficiently and effectively to support NAS Sigonella as being the “Hub of the Med.” On behalf of NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella, I and my team are committed to “Keeping the Press” as we deliver our logistics products and services to you and your family so you can carry out your warfighting mission. By committing ourselves to our mission and priorities, NAVSUP FLC Sigonella will continue to play a critical role in building and sustaining the Navy the Nation Needs here at NAS Sigonella and across the Navy Region Europe, Africa, and Central.
