OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM 2003

Unit departed in March on an eight-month no-notice deployment to

Kuwait. Upon arrival, assigned the duties of maintenance officer and

contract officer representative (COR), for the C12 bed down site at

Kuwait International Airport. Three (3) C12 aircraft and eight (8)

permanent party contractor personnel had been in place in Kuwait for

several years prior. Our deployment brought three (3) additional C12

aircraft from CONUS with two (2) contract mechanics assigned to each

aircraft for a grand total of six (6) aircraft and (14) maintenance

contractors. The initial invasion of Iraq was in full motion with the

chain of command exerting a tremendous amount of pressure to provide

the maximum number of airplanes as soon as possible. The weather was

extremely hot and dusty, hangar conditions austere, and contractor

personnel morale low. Several contractor personnel were insubordinate

to the Army leadership and their civilian management. Aircraft

maintenance was not performed according to provisions of the contract

and aircraft operational readiness rates were below Army standards.

The situation required immediate corrective action. The process of

gathering facts, identifying problem areas, and listening to

contractor grievances/suggestions began. Meetings with all levels of

contractor management, and general officers from the chain of command

commenced. Working as team facilitator with senior contractor

management, and using appropriate negotiation techniques, persuasion,

authority as the contract officer representative (COR), independent

judgment, and knowledge of airplane maintenance procedures/practices,

was able to aggressively develop and recommend new procedures and

policies. Restructure of the entire maintenance process occurred in a

minimal amount of time. These improvements raised morale among the

mechanics, brought the four individual maintenance teams together as

one, and increased aircraft readiness rates above Army standards. A

drastically improved maintenance posture resulted, providing senior

leadership more aircraft available for supporting the war fighter

effort in Iraq and the Persian Gulf region.
