Expeditionary Combat Command (COMNAVEXPDCMBTCOM) and Commander,
Naval Special Warfare Command (COMNAVSPECWARCOM). Commanders
and above with other Supply Corps professional qualification
(e.g., Naval Aviation Supply Corps officer or Surface Warfare
Supply Corps officer) may elect not to participate, but Navy
Expeditionary Supply Corps officer qualification is encouraged
for these officers. The Navy Expeditionary Supply Corps officer
qualification shall only be obtained through the formal program
outlined in this instruction.
3. Eligibility

limited to United States Navy officers with a 310X, 651X, or
