Abstract

The 437th Guidance and Control shop is an intermediate I-level back-shop located at Charleston Air Force Base (CAFB). Its primary purpose is to provide I-level service and repair to C-17 and C-141 line replaceable units (LRUs). The focus of this paper is the resounding success of the C-17 operation development and implementation. This includes the fielding of three digital audio/video stations (DAVs), two display unit test sets (DUTSs), 38 test program sets (TPSs), and related hardware, technical orders (TOs), training requirements, and process development. Due to their efforts, the Guidance and Control shop received recognition with the Public Service Excellence Award for Air Mobility Command (AMC)
