Now comes Navy Rear Adm. John Polowczyk, a no-nonsense logistician plucked from the Pentagon’s Joint Staff to take charge of the procurement and distribution of urgently needed medical equipment.
In the wake of Anthony Fauci’s rise from obscure epidemiologist to fame as a mainstay of the late afternoon press briefings and the man to whom many Americans look for truth about the virus, now comes Navy Rear Adm. John Polowczyk, a no-nonsense logistician plucked from the Pentagon’s Joint Staff to take charge of the procurement and distribution of urgently needed medical equipment.
“He is the right guy to do this,” said Harmer, who added that he does not know Polowczyk personally. “He’s got about the best background you could hope for for a guy who’s being told to do this kind of thing. He knows contracts, he knows acquisition, he knows supply chain management.” Polowczyk has a master’s degree from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., another from the National Defense University’s Industrial College of the Armed Forces in Washington, D.C., and has served aboard a fast attack submarine, a destroyer and an amphibious assault ship, in addition to stints as a senior logistician in Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, Va., and as the head of Naval Supply Systems Command at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
