CWC 733 raises standards of excellence
By Lance Cpl. Nich R. Babb

Flying through the extreme darkness of a damp cave, the predator hunts for its prey. He cannot see the poor defenseless morsel, but he knows the insect is there for him to eat. Then, in a flap of a wing, the meal transforms from living life, to being digested. It is the Big Brown Bat’s built in radar system that located his dinner, and it is that same radar that gave the bat the ability to successfully catch and devour his prey.

Fortunately, the Marine Corps has this same radar capability, the members of Maintenance Center Barstow’s Cost Work Center 733 will tell you. CWC 733 works on Integrated Radar Systems for the military, and has been successfully repairing the AN/TPS 59 radar systems in eight months average turnaround time. 

However, the early days of planning protocol estimated it would take a total of 18 months to complete the repairs, said George Austin, the supervisor of CWC 733.

Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow and Maintenance Center Barstow are constantly looking at and developing ways to protect and preserve the environment in which they perform their every day missions.

The Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District recognized both entities for their commitment to reduce or prevent air pollution in the High Desert by presenting them the annual Exemplar Award during a ceremony held in Victorville Sept. 27.

The Exemplar Award, now in its eighth year, is presented annually in late September to commemorate National Pollution Prevention Week. Chuck Fryxell, district air pollution control officer, and Paul Leullig, chairman of the district’s board of directors, made the presentations.
