On Saturday, April 10, 2010, the United States Navy Memorial in Washington, DC, will open an exciting, year-long exhibit entitled “Supporting the Force: Navy Supply in Action. Ready for Sea – Ready Ashore.”

Loma Media helped brand and position the exhibit, collaborating with Alion Science & Technology to bring a 215-year legacy to life.

“We wanted the theme to emphasize that Navy Supply is working around the world to clothe, feed, move, and support well beyond our own borders, and even beyond the ocean–leading and enabling operations in very diverse, challenging environments,” said Janet Dahle, Loma’s lead project consultant. “It’s a powerful message, and deserves to be a very public one.”

The Navy Memorial exhibit highlights the entire Navy supply team– active and reserve component officers, enlisted, and civilians–working collaboratively to fulfill the Navy’s requirements around the globe.

“The theme needed to underscore the critical Navy Supply mission, reach a wide audience, and present an interactive outreach opportunity to allow visitors to see/hear/experience what life is like as a part of the Navy Supply team,” added John DeBello, Loma’s Creative Director.  “One of the most fascinating things about Navy Supply is its sheer scope–so much more than just ‘at Sea.’”

The “Year of Navy Supply” exhibit showcases more than two centuries of innovative, even astonishing accomplishments. It features a series of display panels, videos, and artifacts, from an 1841 purser’s uniform to a contemporary shipboard serving line.  A historical timeline, a services focus area, and an operational area ties together the variety of work the Navy supply team performs to support the Navy’s global force for good.
The exhibit will be open to the public daily from 0930 – 1700 and admission is free.  Additional details are available at  http://www.navymemorial.org.
