1st Helicopter Squadron/ 316 Operations Support Squadron Transient Alert Mission Brief

Good morning I’m Mark Long the Helicopter and TA contract office representative. Today I will provide a brief overview of the helicopter and TA maintenance complexes. Both units report to the 316 operations group Commander assigned to Andrews AFB and are a vital part to the 316 Wings and AFDWs success. First I will discuss the Helicopter Squadron.

OVERVIEW

Provides priority vertical airlift for national-level civil and military senior leadership in the National Capital Region

Delivers continuous, immediate-response capability in support of sensitive joint contingency plans vital to national security and continuity of operations and supports HQ USAF-tasked VIP transportation

1st Helicopter Squadron

First and Foremost… The 1st Helicopter Squadrons motto

The unit provides priority vertical airlift for national-level civil and military senior leadership in the National Capital Region.

While delivering continuous, immediate-response capability in support of sensitive joint contingency plans vital to national security and continuity of operations and support HQ USAF-tasked VIP transportation.

Maintenance Overview

24-hour coverage and full helicopter maintenance services in support of 19 UH-1N aircraft with over 240,000 accident free flying hours Back shop support Test Pilots Dispersal Alert

There are many requirements in the Performance Work Statement for the Heli Squadron but I will highlight just a few.

First our maintenance operation covers a 24/7 period in support of 19 UH-1N helicopters, with an impeccable rotary wing record of over 240,000 accident free flying hours.

Base back shop support

New requirement for Test Pilots aircrew schedulers

Our dispersal / deployment requirements

Alert commitment

24/7 Maintenance support Virtually a self-sufficient organization encompassing the following sections Flight Line Phase Dock Avionics Sheet metal

CTK

Plans and Scheduling Supply

Heli is essentially self sustaining consisting of the following sections mirroring the blue suitor days.

The flight line operation has a 24 / 7 commitment.

Complemented by the phase section complying with the 400 hour phase inspection requirement.

The unit has an avionic section along with a sheet metal shop, a CTK section, Plans and Scheduling and Supply housed in the facility.

1st Helicopter Squadron Back shop support Minimal support from base back shops to include the following:

Fabrication Aerospace Ground Equipment Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory

We do rely on the base for some backshop support the fabrication section consisting of NDI, welding, survival, and paint booth.

We also depend on AGE support and a PMEL laboratory to name a few.

Test pilots Conduct Helicopter Operations to include the following:

FCF/OCF

Maintenance test flight Cocking helicopters on alert Aircraft recoveries and deliveries Aircrew Scheduling

A major change from the previous contract for the Heli section is the additional requirement for test pilots a.

This requirement is tasking the contractor to perform the FCF/OCF programs and any test flights for modifications, to include cocking helicopters on alert, maintenance ground runs Lk and Ops and engine dry runs.

Additionally, the contractor is expected to delivery and pickup aircraft from our depots @ Corpus Christi and Cherry Point.

Also, they will recover aircraft that have made precautionary landings.

Aircrew scheduling: The contractor shall be responsible for USAF operations management/scheduling function of both aircraft and military/civilian aircrews.

The contractor shall schedule academic, administrative, flight and alert requirements.

1st Helicopter Squadron Dispersal /Deployment Conduct Helicopter Operations in remote locations Full maintenance services Supply

AGE

The contractor is also responsible for handling helicopter dispersal maintenance related issues and to provide 100 % maintenance capabilities for up to 19 helicopters at a remote location for up to 33 days. To include, but not limited to personnel, Supplies and AGE services.

On occasion the unit is required to deploy to attend airshows and perform out back day trips to alternate locations, with an occasional TDY for military exercises. Maintenance is also requested in certain instances to fly or drive to these locations.

Alert Provide support to launch up to eight helicopters within 60 seconds on 24/7 basis Klaxon Verbal

Lastly and most important is our Alert posture which is second to none. The contractor is required to provide maintenance support to launch up to eight helicopters within 60 seconds on a 24/7 basis.

The notifications can be either by a klaxon or verbal alerts.

As you can see the Helicopter Squadron has diverse mission requiring extensive coordination between Operations and Maintenance.

To recap heli we spoke of the 24/7 coverage, backshop support, test pilots, dispersals and alerts.

Now I’ll transition into the TA piece.

316 OSS Transient Alert

OVERVIEW

Support DoD DV missions, other US Govt agencies, foreign DV air missions, aeromedical evacuations, cargo, fixed and rotary wing aircraft Responsible for ensuring the safe parking and static display of aircraft participating in the annual Joint Services Open House

As mentioned earlier the Transient Alert function falls under the 316 OSS

This requirement is a highly visible portion of this contract.

Transient alert is one of the busiest transient alert (TA) functions in the Department of Defense (DOD).

316 OSS Transient Alert

Maintenance Overview Provide movement of over 10,000 transient aircraft annually Air Force transient services Deicing Joint Service Open House

A few of the TA requirement of this contract are as follows:

Provide TA services for all aircraft transienting Andrews AFB except for transienting aircraft on the eastside of the base which are handled by separate contract.

They handle all deicing and deicing fluid recoveries pertaining to that portion of the contract.

Another Major task our TA is responsible is for the Joint services open House.

316 OSS Transient Alert

Deicing all transient aircraft and specific units Priorities established by the functional Commander

Joint Service Open House Annual requirement over 150 transient aircraft for a three day period

Transient alert on Andrews AFB handles the movement of over 7,000 aircraft a year.

Other tasking include deicing all transient aircraft and assisting in certain tenant units aircraft deicing Priorities will be established by the functional director through the command post and MOC

Lastly, the Joint Service Open House is Andrews chance to shine once per year. This highly visible event consists of Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard equipment. The flight line is transformed, over a week period, to accommodate thousand of spectators and over 150 transient static and performance aircraft for a three day period.

As you can see the Heli and Transient Alert portions of this contract are significant and are essential to success and are vital to national security.

This concludes my portion of the briefing so I will turn it over to Mr. Jackson for fuel, supply and munitions.
