WRM III continues 10+ year legacy of providing materiel to U.S. deployed forces in conflict zones

VIC on the Ready LineThe U.S. Air Forces Central (USAFCENT) awarded us the War Reserve Materiel (WRM) III contract in February 2017 after ten successful years performing on WRM II and the majority of all munitions used in Iraq, Syria, or Afghanistan is first touched by our staff. For the current WRM III award, we primarily provide storage, maintenance, outload, reconstitution, exercise, and contingency logistics support for eight OCONUS locations across the Middle East. We also maintain, repair, and perform minor construction for Government facilities and property that is pre-positioned at one of the eight locations. Pre-positioned tasks include maintaining, repairing, storing, and shipping items such as base expeditionary sets, vehicles, fuel-related equipment, generators, medical materiels, munitions, and aerospace ground equipment.

¼«Æ·Ì½»¨, through its legacy company DynCorp International, successfully performed on the previous contract, WRM II, for ten years before the WRM III IDIQ was awarded.

Program Highlights:

  • The majority of all munitions used in Iraq, Syria, or Afghanistan is first touched by our staff on the WRM III contract
  • Maintains 128 WRM III SOPs and 221 Work Instructions over the last 11 years
  • Exceeds 90% readiness (97% average as of October 2020), 95% inventory accuracy rates, and 93.75% vehicle in-commission rate despite COVID lockdown
  • Achieved 100% on-time required delivery of all WRM tasks in FY20 over 50% of which occurred during lockdown conditions created by the pandemic
  • Led the conversion to Theater Integrated Combat Munitions System (TICMS) and completed the land swap on Al Udeid Air Base between Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and AFCENT on schedule and at no additional cost without impacting the mission. Our timely exchange used existing resources and allowed DLA’s Regional Center to start operations on schedule.
  • Over $5.7M de-obligated and over $4.5M in cost savings/avoidance in FY20 due to effective cost controls

¼«Æ·Ì½»¨ Maintains Helicopter Transport for our Nation’s Leaders

The Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility Washington (JBA-NAFW) Helicopter Maintenance program is a world-class helicopter maintenance service requirement that supports the mission of the 316th Wing. The 316th Operations Group provides continuous rotary-wing contingency response capability to the National Capital Region (NCR) while simultaneously supporting regional and global customers with critical airfield infrastructure and aviation services. The group consists of two squadrons of highly skilled, experienced, and motivated aircrew and support personnel.

The 1st Helicopter Squadron executes the Air Force District of Washington’s only flying mission and conducts distinguished visitor airlift missions. The 1st Helicopter Squadron (1 HS) is the Air Force’s largest operational helicopter squadron. The 1 HS operates 22 UH-1N Iroquois “Huey” aircraft and provides contingency response in the NCR. We provide O-, I, and limited D-level maintenance. This high-profile mission demands 24/7/365 fleet readiness for alert aircraft. The squadron traces its helicopter heritage back to 1955, serving as the first Air Force rotary-wing squadron within the Washington, D.C. area. The unit’s primary mission is to maintain the capability to provide defense support to civilian authorities in the event of a disaster.

The 316th Operations Support Squadron supports the no-fail contingency airlift mission and provides aviation related services to joint customers and aircrew world-wide. The 316 Wing, as well as their customers, count on these services to provide world-class transportation services. We are also responsible for establishing a partnership/teamwork approach with the contracting Officer, 316th Operations Group Functional Commander, Contracting Officer Representatives, operations personnel, and other applicable contractors.

Project Highlights:

  • Our maintenance team rapidly adjusted to the COVID-19 environment with zero impact to operations that enabled the 1st helicopter Squadron to maintain immediate alert response posture in support of multiple USNORTHCOM tasked missions
  • 3,000+ sorties supported annually
  • The DI team at JB Andrews has earned the prestigious FAA Diamond award 19 years in a row.
