 Soldiers from the 1100 Theatre Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group provided logistical support to the aviation support battalion of the 28th Combat Aviation Brigade while they prepare aircraft to leave the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility at the Port of Shweba, Kuwait. The aircraft are broken down by either the ASB or the 1100 personnel. The first thing we do is take off all the components that need to be removed such as electrical harnesses, blade pins. We fold the blades by color, rotate back around so they're on top of each other but not touching each other. Then we pad them to protect them from the severity of the boat or aircraft going up and down. The transport of these aircraft from the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility back to the U.S. ensures they receive proper maintenance and increases overall mission readiness.
