 A total of 43 civilian personnel from Robins Air Force Base are currently providing support to the workforce at the Ogden Air Logistics Complex in Utah.

"We sent personnel to Hill Air Force Base to be able to assist with their C-130 production machine," said Lt. Col. Jeffrey Martin, 402nd Aircraft Maintenance Group deputy group commander. "This will allow them to produce on their requirement."

The group departed around the beginning June. A request for assistance came from Hill in early May. They will be assisting programmed depot maintenance work with the 309th Aircraft Maintenance Group's C-130 production line for 120 days.

Specifically, support began immediately on major and minor structural repairs and C-130 component replacements, with work across eight docks.

"I've said to many on my team that this is an unprecedented effort," said David Griffin, 572nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron production chief. "This demonstrates the flexibility of the Air Force Sustainment Center to be able to reach out from one complex to another."

"They've helped out in a time of need which is where we're basically at right now," he said.

Griffin referred to the forecasted manpower strength the squadron would need, which didn't line up with structure requirements. He noted that personnel had been working mandatory overtime on and off since February.

"The team that came from Robins is helping us to get caught up," he said.

The 572nd AMXS includes about 502 personnel.

Including Robins, Hill is also getting help from Air National Guard members from across the U.S. including Idaho, Missouri, Utah and Delaware over a period of 30 to 60 days.

Including maintenance, repair, overhaul and modification on the C-130 Hercules, Hill performs work on the F-22 Raptor, F-16 Fighting Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt and ICBM Minuteman missile system.
