07 Mar 2012: Rebuilds

Comment: Request to do Component rebuilds here

Answer: 10 Mar 12: The Army incorporated a program called National Maintenance Program (NMP) many years ago to consolidate the component rebuilds to a single Source of Repairs for quality purposes.  We used to conduct component repairs prior to the establishment of NMP but lost the authorization to continue.  The LMP program is not beneficial for us to participate in because it does not guarantee workloads and only funds the program for completed work.  Thus, we have to fund mechanics and maintain the work force without a guarantee of any work. 

07 Mar 2012: Job Applications

Comment: Concern with individuals writing PDs and then applying for the job - are we doing this?

Answer: 10 Mar 12: When position descriptions are developed or revised employees performing these or similar duties are consulted to insure position descriptions are accurate.  However, management has overall responsibility for developing and submitting PD’s.

07 Mar 2012: Management

Comment: Micromanagement Problems

Comment: CECOM team is here doing work that we should have done during the deployment.

Answer: 10 Mar 12: CECOM has established a team to install and check the serviceability of the entire communication systems prior to the reissue of LBE to the units.  This ensures that the units are receiving equipment back as a system complete and serviceable.  When we perform LBE, maintenance on the equipment we insure all communication equipment that is installed on the equipment is serviceable but we lack components of the system to test the entire system.

07 Mar 2012: AOAP

Comment: Can we get an AOAP test center here?

Answer: 10 Mar 12: We used to have an AOAP Lab at HAAF that supported FSGA and HAAF but the department of the Army consolidated Labs and created regional Labs to minimize the AOAP cost to the Army.

07 Mar 2012: MRAP Mechanics

Comment: Concern with the number of mechanics we have trained to work on MRAPs.

Answer: 10 Mar12: We have three personnel that went to the training and we are currently in the process to get additional mechanics trained.  DOL responded to an ASC tasking requesting our requirements.  Additionally, we submitted a ROM to ASC a while back to get seven additional personnel trained.

07 Mar 2012: PT at DOL

Comment: Problem with PT and DOL employees getting to work - not sure I understand this one.

Answer: 10 Mar: Building 2916 is located in the 3rd ID PT area.  A route has been established that enables employees to get to work while allowing Soldiers to conduct PT.  There have been occasions where the PT route has not been followed.  DOL identifies these occurrences to the Garrison CSM who coordinates with the applicable CSM(s) to implement corrective action.

07 Mar 2012: Honeywell

Comment: Can we hold Honeywell accountable for bringing vehicles to us that are clean - apparently this has been an issue.

Answer: 10 Mar 12: Honeywell accepts LBE from units that are on a very short timeline from MRE completion and deployment.  They require units to clean vehicles when possible but time constraints hinder some from being cleaned.  Honeywell is not staffed nor do they have the resources available at all motor pools to conduct the cleaning. They have gotten better at providing clean vehicles over the past few months.
