LCAP results in two outstandings, seven excellents

By Eric Sesit Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs Office

The Logistics Compliance Assessment Program visit, conducted Feb. 4 through 11 is over. The purpose of the visit was to evaluate the 437th and 315th Air Wings ability to perform their mission in accordance with established Air Force and Air Mobility Command policies and directives, focusing on evaluating the effectiveness of personnel and logistics processes.

"Overall, I am pleased with the results of our LCAP inspection. A team representing some of the best and brightest from throughout the command spent a week rigorously inspecting our Team Charleston Logisticians as evidenced by the more than 1,500 inspections," Col. James Clavenna, 437th Maintenance Group commander, said.

Overall, the 437th and 315th Airlift Wings performed admirably as reflected by LCAP team chief, Col. Robert Straw's comments. Joint Base Charleston's inspired dedication, skill and professionalism were definitely evident during the inspection, Colonel Straw said, and the entire Joint Base Charleston team showed great initiative and advanced preparation.

The inspection resulted in several squadrons receiving an 'Excellent' rating while the 437th and 315th Maintenance Operations Squadrons achieved a score of 'outstanding'.

"The team recognized our Airmen for their pride, enthusiasm, compliance and safe aircraft maintenance, transportation, supply and logistics," Colonel Clavenna said. "They also identified numerous outstanding performers. And, as with any inspection, we'll leverage the feedback to make our great team even better. That's what professionals do ... and that's what makes us the best Air Force in the world!"
