Proud member of Team Charleston

By Kent Selby, senior program manager Honeywell Technology Systems, Inc

Honeywell Technology Solutions Inc. is a proud member of Joint Team Charleston, both on the Weapons Station and the Air Base. We are honored to be part of the ongoing story of daily support to our nation through Joint Base Charleston.

On the extreme north end of JB CHS - WS, we support the Army Strategic Logistics Activity Charleston by managing and preparing equipment for storage aboard the prepositioned fleet. This program, known as Army Prepositioned Stocks - Afloat, or APS-3, provides a daily challenge for more than 500

- rolling and tracked vehicle mechanics

- armament and communications technicians

- supply specialists

- material handling specialists

- heavy truck drivers

- environmental specialists

- safety and security personnel

- carpenters

- welders

- financial specialists

- production control specialists

- database operators

- supervisors and managers

Many of these employees have prior military service and all of them understand their daily efforts could keep a soldier alive at some point in the future. That key point makes it easy for us to stay focused on providing the Army with quality support.

At JB CHS - AB, our cargo movement team conducts receipt, staging and onward movement of Oversized and Outsized cargo for air movement through the Aerial Port. We are honored to work side-by-side with the 437th Aerial Port Squadron. We also process O&O for sea movement in conjunction with the 841st Transportation Battalion on JB CHS - WS.

Finally, we carry the pride of Team Charleston with us away from home with our overseas missions. Each prepositioned vessel carries a maintenance crew of eight from HTSI and we frequently provide cargo specialists to fly aboard foreign aircraft carrying specialty Army vehicles.

Our nation is fortunate to have the synergy provided by the numerous units and agencies in Charleston and on JC CHS. At HTSI, we are proud to be part of that team.
