Clinton Haller, of Olympia, Wash., were honored to receive recognition by the Navy’s senior civilian leader.
Brig. Gen. Michael Dana, the commanding general of the 2nd MLG (FWD), then gave Mabus a tour of the various logistics lots and facilities on Nolay, offering an assessment of the MLG’s progress in retrograde operations.
As the leading logistics organization in Regional Command Southwest, the 2nd MLG is well underway in the process of accounting for, sorting and redistributing RC (SW)’s gear and equipment.
