The location of the SUPSALV ESSM bases are shown here - The U.S. bases contain most of SUPSALV’S pollution response equipment inventory. Williamsburg, Virginia and Port Hueneme, California are the largest bases each having in excess of 150,000 square feet of covered space. Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and Anchorage, Alaska are significantly smaller bases.
The four overseas unmanned ESSM bases are typically 10,000 to 15,000 square feet. They store primarily salvage equipment to support fleet requirements. These warehouses are located on foreign military facilities.
ESSM inventory of material is maintained for rapid shipment of ready-for-issue equipment and other, often unique, items. The inventory and material history is maintained on a system-wide data base.
ESSM warehouse space is used for both storage and shop maintenance. Critical items are stored in controlled humidity environments to extend equipment life and provide immediate deployment. Also, much of the equipment is stored in shipping containers as integrated systems.
The four US ESSM bases are contractor operated with permanent maintenance and operations staff. The four overseas bases are unmanned, and are supported by local contractors and military.
The Supervisor of Salvage controls all issuance of ESSM material. Determination of what assistance is required rests with the evaluation of a given situation. SUPSALV technical assistance may also be provided.
Equipment is intended for short-term or project use and is not for unit inventory replacement. Equipment is shipped in a ready-for-issue condition with all ancillary components, spares and manuals.
Experienced contractor operators can be deployed with the equipment as necessary. This usually done for oil pollution recovery operations or to support specialized or unique equipment.
The ESSM inventory is based on established Inventory Objectives and adjusted for emerging requirements. Also, material obtained for specialized operations is often available in the inventory and can be used or modified for a new requirement.

Experienced SUPSALV & Contractor Personnel
When our equipment is called out, highly trained and skilled operators transport, assemble, operate, and field maintain the equipment.
We have approximately 150 full time operators who day to day maintain, modify, and drill the equipment for an emergency callout, 2/3 of these operators, or 100 responders, are immediately available.
Also, standing emergency response contracts can provide us approximately 150 additional responders, all on a two hour callout.
Many operators 20+ years experience
Operators surged from all ESSM bases 8 *
