File: aaawl_27.txtUS CENTAF/ DE CRITICAL ISSUE SUBJECT: War Readiness Spares Kits (WRSK) OBSERVATION: Harvest Falcon assets have been placed in service to beddown and feed personnel. Kits are incomplete in some cases. Equipment requires service and maintenance. Extremely limited WRSK and spares available. ACTION: Asked LGS and TAC/BS to expedite WRSK and spares. Established CEMIRT for depot maintenance of electrical assets within AOR. USCENTAF/DE system for locally purchasing parts and shipping them to the sites shutdown by USCENTAF/LG by disapproving Form 9 purchases. Sites now forced to order repair parts through their home base taking 60 days plus. WRSK kits for MEP-7 and MEP-6 generators sent to sites. Less than 70% quantity of MEP-7 and MEP-6 WRSK kits available for the number of generators deployed in the field. Although DE developed listing of sites to ship limited 750XW (MEP-12) WRSK kits, LG reluctant to ship any kits to the sites. WRSK for ECU's now arriving in theatre and being dispersed to sites. This is critical since sites do not have spare parts to make repairs. Technical orders for ECU's, M-80 Water Boilers, etc. unavailable at the sites to order necessary parts. Many of the 9-is recently shipped into the SWA AOR are arriving without all of the parts/equipment associated with complete kitchens, i.e., missing burner parts, broken tilt grills with no repair parts, etc. No spares kits are available for the 9-1. Experiencing numerous problems with the TFLs, i.e., electrodes burning out drum axis breaking and control panels fouling. Insufficient kits available to allow accomplishment of local repairs. ' AS OF 15 DEC 90 POC: [(b)(2)]
