Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) was established on Nov. 3, 2005 as a component of Naval District Washington to provide shore installation management services for Naval Support Facility (NSF) Indian Head.

Shore installation management functions (now under NSASP authority) encompass all land, buildings, and support services. As the base landlord, Naval Support Activity South Potomac provides management functions for all tenant commands located on board NSF Indian Head, including:

• Personnel Support --Quality of Life: Morale, Welfare and Recreation and Child Care
• Facility Support --Public Works
• Public Safety --Physical Security, Law Enforcement, Fire Department
• Environmental Protection and Waste Management
• Supply --Materials management, property disposal, and warehousing
• Public Affairs

In addition to providing installation management and services for NSF Indian Head, Naval Support Activity South Potomac executes the same responsibility for three additional shore installations:† Naval Support Facility Dahlgren, Va., Naval Support Facility Andrews AFB, Md., and Naval Support Facility, Fort Belvoir, Va.

Consolidation of Navy Shore Installation Management
Effective Oct. 1, 2003, Commander Navy Installations Command (CNIC), a new Echelon II Command, officially stood up with the sole charter of providing shore installation management (SIM) services to all Navy activities. All land and buildings at all Navy bases transitioned to this new claimant, creating 16 regional commands within CNIC.

As part of CNIC, all naval installations within the National Capital Region aligned with Naval District Washington (NDW). The Naval District Washington, one of 10 regional commands in the United States, now provides SIM services to naval installations inside the National Capital region.

The Navy's goal in establishing CNIC is to have a single advocate for shore installations, to establish Navy-wide business practices, and to generate savings for Navy investment. CNIC will create a more focused, leaner organization, while improving services. The objective is to reduce redundancy in the SIM process, and enable other Navy activities to focus on their primary missions.

The goals of CNIC are:

• To be a single voice and advocate for shore installations
• To increase program efficiencies through economies of scale
• To allow mission claimants to focus on core mission
