ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --  A team of inspectors from Air Force Materiel Command's Logistics Compliance Assessment Program will be visiting the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center Dec. 5 through 9.

Recent inspection cycles have occurred annually since 2007, with the last visit in January 2010. Visits will include areas within the 402nd Maintenance Wing, 78th Air Base Wing, 638th Supply Chain Management Group and Global Logistics Support Center.

In the 78th Mission Support Group, in addition to internal scrutiny, they have received staff assistance visits from Headquarters Air Force Reserve Command, 116th Logistics Readiness Squadron and the 96th LRS from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. to give the squadron an external look, and identify strengths and areas of improvement, said Col. Roger Johnson, 78th Mission Support Group commander.

"The 78th LRS is hard at work fine-tuning the squadron in preparation for the inspection," said Johnson.

Col. Jeffery Glass, 78th Air Base Wing Inspector General, added that safety and first impressions make up a huge part of the process.

"When an inspection team comes in, it's tough to be perfect, but at the same time you try to work to that," said Glass.

During this same period, inspections will also be conducted by the Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health Compliance Assessment and Management Program. These inspections assess management effectiveness and monitor compliance with federal, state and local laws. As part of Air Force headquarters efficiencies, the AFMC Inspector General has been mandated to try to align all inspection types. That will align with other major headquarters inspection types to bring one inspection team every two years, according to Air Force Instruction 90-803.

The last ESOHCAMP Tier III audit occurred in January 2009.
