THE DOCK AREA ON WEEKLY BAYOU, WHICH SUPPORTS MARITIME

MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES AS NEEDED TO EFFICIENTLY SUPPORT

MOBILE TARGET OPERATIONS. OUR MOBILE TARGETS MAINTAINERS

ARE FULLY EQUIPPED TO PERFORM EVEN MAJOR MAINTENANCE AND

REPAIRS IN THE FIELD OR AT BARE BONES LOCATIONS IF NECESSARY.

OUR MAJOR MOBILE TARGET AREA, WHICH WILL BE BRIEFED

SEPARATELY DURING THE RANGE C-52 LEG OF YOUR TOUR, IS

COMMONLY CALLED THE FTC OR FOREIGN THREAT COMPOUND, DUE

TO THE QUANTITY OF TARGETS OF FOREIGN ORIGIN THAT ARE

OPERATED AND MAINTAINED FROM THAT LOCATION. THE FTC IS THE

PRIMARY FOCUS OF MOBILE TARGET OPERATIONS AND CURRENTLY

HAS THE LARGEST NUMBERS OF PERSONNEL SUPPORTING THIS

CAPABILITY AREA.

THIS CONCLUDES OUR TOUR OF MOBILE TARGET SUPPORT, YARD
