KUNSAN AIR BASE, Korea -- The Munitions Activities Standardization Program inspection team found Kunsan Air Base armament flight's War Reserve Material / Alternate Mission Equipment section holds 100-percent serviceable rate on all its 207 pieces of WRM equipment.
The inspection team notified the three-person section of its accomplishments during an MASP outbrief last month.
Technical Sgt. Leonard Munier, 8th Maintenance WRM/AME section chief said he knew the shop, working six-days-a-week for four months, showed their determination in meeting their goals.
Over the past 10 months the section has completed a one-time inspection on all of its assigned WRM equipment, and 1,336 pieces of AME ensuring the equipment is war ready for follow-on forces.
"Maintaining was the easy part," said Munier. "Getting the equipment back into serviceable condition was the hard part."
The section completed three separate Time-Compliance-Technical-Order upgrades, used to inspect and correct equipment deficiencies, on more than 100 pieces of WRM equipment. One of the TCTOs on 34 bomb racks was completed in less than 24 hours - well ahead of the estimated three-month allotted time span, officials noted.
Technical Sgt. Charles Farnsley, 8th MXS assistant section chief, said their success was due to, "Getting 100 percent hands on every piece of equipment.
"Now we're concentrating on a smooth turn over for our replacements so the equipment stays in serviceable condition," he added.
During recent 7th Air Force Staff Assistance Visit and Pacific Air Forces Munitions Activity Standardization Program inspections, the section received zero write up's and many official accolades.
The 7th Air Force official stated the program was war-ready, and he would use the sections' continuity book as the standard for all WRM programs on the peninsula. (PACAFNS)
