Commander of Navy Global Logistics receives second star The head of one of the Navy’s largest logistics organizations was promoted to the rank of rear admiral (upper half) during a ceremony held last fall at the Navy Broadway Complex in downtown San Diego. Navy Supply Corps Rear Adm. Mark F. Heinrich, a Point Loma resident, took command of Fleet and Industrial Supply Centers (COMFISCS) in June. He is the first two-star flag officer to command the Navy’s global logistics organization established in 2003 and headquartered in San Diego. Prior to assuming command of COMFISCS, Heinrich served as director of logistics operations and readiness for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Va. He deployed to Kuwait in June 2008 as director of the U.S. Central Command Deployment and Distribution Operations Center at Camp Arifjan, and applied his deployment and distribution expertise to the planning and execution of joint and combined force military operations. Heinrich, a graduate of La Jolla High School, holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the Naval Academy and master’s degrees in business administration and petroleum management from the University of Kansas. He is also a graduate of the Kellogg Graduate School of Management Advanced Executive Program. For more information, visit https://www.navsup.navy.mil/navsup/ourteam/ comfiscs/news.
