• TCMB: Taking care of maintenance business

    Elbow grease remains a key ingredient in the care and upkeep of trucks and heavy equipment, as these Air Force mechanics and technicians illustrate.

The men and women serving in the vehicle and maintenance brigade within the 673rd Logistics Readiness (LRS) squadron at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) in Alaska provide an excellent example of this philosophy put into action.
