Who should be involved in compiling a list of direct-NRTS items?

The involvement of the MXS back shops and AFREP representatives in compiling a list of direct-NRTS items is essential because these individuals have the specific technical knowledge and insights necessary to identify items that are not repairable and can have a direct impact on operational readiness. The MXS (Maintenance Squadron) back shops are responsible for maintenance tasks, and their expertise allows for an accurate assessment of materials that are critical to operations.

AFREP (Asset and Fleet Readiness Enabling Process) representatives also play a key role in ensuring that items are correctly evaluated concerning their ability to meet mission requirements. Their collaboration ensures that the list compiled is comprehensive and reflects the necessary items for maintenance and operations.

While other groups such as personnel from the supply chain, the unit’s financial officer, and the logistics readiness squadron might have valuable input, they may not have the same level of specialized knowledge regarding the technical aspects of the items in question. This specificity is vital in accurately determining which direct-NRTS items need to be emphasized for maintenance and operational support. Thus, focusing on the expertise provided by the MXS back shops and AFREP representatives leads to better decision-making and effective management of resources.
