Capt. Matthew Perkins Assumes Command of 2nd Navy Expeditionary Logistics Regiment from Capt. Keith Boylan
The U.S. Navy's Second Navy Expeditionary Logistics Regiment (2nd NELR) held a change of command ceremony on November 14 at Naval Weapons Station Yorktown's Cheatham Annex in Williamsburg, Virginia, where Capt. Matthew Perkins assumed command from Capt. Keith Boylan. Rear Adm. Kevin Corcoran, commander of Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group (NAVELSG), presided over the ceremony and recognized the regiment's role in sustaining naval and joint forces worldwide.
"You as expeditionary logisticians help rearm, refuel, resupply, and provide command and control to forces in contested environments," Corcoran said. "You enable security. You enable freedom of commerce and movement around the world." He praised Boylan's strategic thinking and investment in Sailors, highlighting his mentorship of junior officers and partnership with chief petty officers, and credited the regiment's work with extending the fleet's reach and supporting operations across multiple regions.
Boylan, who led the regiment for more than two years, focused his farewell remarks on the Sailors and leadership teams behind the command's accomplishments, thanking junior Sailors, chief petty officers and officers for their adaptability and professionalism. "I believe there is no organization that stands on one person," Boylan said. "It is the team that makes us successful." He also recognized the regiment's battalion commanders for preparing forces for operational assignments.
Perkins, the regiment's new commodore, thanked Boylan for leading the regiment through organizational change while continuing to deliver ready forces, and said he would build on that foundation as the Navy's operational requirements evolve. "We do more than move supplies and equipment," Perkins said. "We extend operational reach, sustain combat power, and enable our warfighters to remain in the fight." He outlined a command philosophy of staying resolute, being flexible and developing others, emphasizing integration of active-duty and Reserve personnel, maintaining standards, and preparing proficient teams to support naval and joint operations. He also thanked the families whose support contributes to Sailor readiness.
Headquartered at Cheatham Annex, 2nd NELR reports to NAVELSG and provides command and control for assigned Navy expeditionary logistics forces, supporting the fleet's ability to rearm, refuel and resupply forces worldwide.
