Commander of NAVSEA visits MOC AOG

by U.S. Navy Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Devin S. Randol
04 March 2021 Vice Adm. William J. Galinis, commander, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), visited the Maintenance Operations Center (MOC) Aircraft on Ground (AOG) and attended a teleconference at Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic (CNAL), March 3, to meet with leaders and key specialists regarding the Navy's advancing ambitions on operational readiness for its aircraft.
 
While at the conference, Galinis was impressed by the working synergy each individual had with one another, and how the MOC AOG enables such productive communication. The team collaborated together and offered up solutions and dialogue for matters such as part ordering and flight scheduling.

“This is a well-oiled machine, quite frankly,” said Galinis. “This kind of information flow doesn't happen overnight; you all have been working hard at this and it clearly shows.” 
 
The teleconference, led primarily by CNAL's Civilian Deputy Director, Dave Ferreria, cemented the MOC AOG's positive reputation in Galinis' eyes. Galinis continues to be optimistic in the Navy's ability to rise above manning and operational challenges.
 
“The MOC is making a difference in the fleet,” Galinis said. “In the meetings I've been in with Navy leadership, they've been singing the kudos of this operation quite often. Good work, thank you, and keep pressing!"
 
The MOC AOG is a collective which includes Navy supply, maintenance, and engineering specialists, as well as private industry contractors partnering with the Navy. Together, they’ve been working to assess, improve, and properly organize the efforts to keep mission-capable aircraft fully ready to fly wherever the Navy needs them.
