386th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron

Truck Technician

Home unit/base: 100th Logistics Readiness Squadron, Mildenhall Air Force Base


How do you support the mission here? I assist in keeping 150 vehicles safe and serviceable to support flightline, Civil Engineering and Security Forces operation. In addition, I perform agumentee duties for Security Forces.

How many times have you deployed and what makes this one unique? This is my first deployment. I'm in a very critical position, as I'm the only fire truck technician at my location.

How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? My primary duties at my home station consist of working strictly on fire trucks. Due to the high operation tempo here, I'm working on all types of assets in the vehicle maintenance arena. The knowledge I've gained here will be useful as my career progresses.
