~The FReeper Canteen Presents~ Road Trip: Naval Support Activity Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 
Naval Support Activity Mechanicsburg is an 806 acres naval supply depot just outside of Mechanicsburg in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Largely industrial, and home to over 150 warehouses containing 8,800,000 square feet of storage space and other buildings, it is the headquarters of the Naval Supply Systems Command. It is also the parent installation of Naval Support Activity Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Navy Yard Annex, which share the same commanding officer.     

Presently NSA Mechanicsburg serves approximately 4,600 civilian, military and industry partners assigned to over 40 tenant activities or commands. Outside of the NAVSUP headquarters, the other three largest commands on the installation actually direct subordinates of NAVSUP—the Weapons Systems Support (formerly NAVICP) command and the Business Systems Center (formerly NAVSISA). Other commands located on the base include the several Defense Logistics Agency commands, the NAVSEA Logistics Center, and the United States Army Reserve's 382nd Engineer Company.
Overall, NAVSUP personnel make up approximately 54% of the installation's population. 
Fleet Readiness delivers high quality, customer-focused programs and services that contribute to military retention. Fleet Readiness is an integral part of installation management, directly affecting military readiness and supporting the quality of life needs of Sailors and their family members. It is comprised of: Fitness, Sports and Deployed Forces Support; Recreation; Entertainment and Business; Lodging; Galley; Child and Youth Programs; and Other Community Support, which includes the Navy Voting Assistance Program. 
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is the largest of the United States Navy's five "systems commands," or materiel organizations. From a physical perspective, NAVSEA has four shipyards for shipbuilding, conversion, and repair, ten "warfare centers" (two undersea and eight surface), the NAVSEA headquarters, located at the Washington Navy Yard, in Washington D.C., and other locations in 15 states and 3 overseas continents.
NAVSEA's primary objective is to engineer, build, buy, and maintain the U.S. Navy's fleet of ships and its combat systems. NAVSEA's budget of almost $30 billion accounts for nearly one quarter of the Navy's entire budget, with more than 80,200 personnel and 150 acquisition programs under its oversight.
