SILVERDALE, Wash. (July 22, 2024) - Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) Director Vice Adm. Johnny Wolfe Jr., (next to right) visits with staff from Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific (SWFPAC) and contractor staff from industry partner Skookum Contract Services at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. Through close collaboration with industry, SWFPAC executed critical updates to its fleet of armed fighting vehicles specifically high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWVs) that provide security for our nation's strategic assets. This work—accomplished in tandem with this partnership—validated the need to address shortfalls for the HMMWVs and doubled the number of safe and operable vehicles available for the security mission with a sense of urgency. SWFPAC's work with partners to improve operational readiness in support of its security mission ensures greater surety for the nation's nuclear deterrence mission. SWFPAC—SSP’s naval shore facility in the Pacific—assembles and deploys Trident II D5 missiles aboard Fleet Ballistic Missile submarines (SSBNs) while safeguarding the nation’s strategic assets. SSP is the Navy command that provides cradle-to-grave lifecycle support for the sea-based leg of the nation’s nuclear triad. This includes training, systems, equipment, facilities and personnel responsible for ensuring the safety, security, and effectiveness of the nation’s Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) Trident II (D5LE) Strategic Weapon System.
