One maintenance group located in the Middle East takes on repairs that others cannot, and their impact on sustainment operations is paramount.
The soldiers of the 1107th Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group (TASMG) located at Camp Buehring, Kuwait are required to take on high level repairs that are necessary to maintaining sustainment operations in the US Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility (AOR).
The 1107th TASMG take on repairs that others in theater are not equipped to handle.
"We are responsible to any maintenance that is not in the technical manual," said Sgt. 1st Class Darrell Flannery, UH-60 mechanic, 1107th TASMG. "Other units are not trained to take on the type of repairs that we make - that is what makes our job so important."
Without the capabilities of the 1107th TASMG, most aircraft that they repair would have to go back to the US.
