The project will consolidate functions of three separate inadequate facilities, averaging 55 years old, into a new centralized staging point for C-17 Globemaster III aircraft.
“Consolidation of these complementary flight line support functions will contribute to an improved span of management control and will reduce aircraft maintenance turnaround time increasing mission readiness,” said NAVFAC Southeast Senior Project Manager William Moreno Jr.
The work to be performed provides for the design and construction of a new logistical center for the assembly and maintenance of Readiness Spare Packages as well as supporting and stocking avionics, spare parts, components, and other required supplies in support of the maintenance of approximately 40 C-17 Globemaster III aircraft.
Work will be performed in Charleston, South Carolina and is expected to be completed by September 2024.
