ASD, 638th prepare for compliance inspections Published Jan. 14, 2011 By Wayne Crenshaw 78 ABW/PA ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- The Aerospace Sustainment Directorate and the 638th Supply Chain Management Group will get a compliance inspection soon. A 50-person team from the Air Force Materiel Command Inspector General's office will be here Jan. 24-31. Lt. Col. Mike Senseney, the directorate's compliance inspection advance team chief, said the inspection will focus on how the unit has adapted to the reorganization which occurred last year, although "anything is fair game." On July 1, the 542nd Combat Sustainment Wing and 330th Aircraft Sustainment Wing deactivated to form the directorate. The 638th SCMG is co-located with the directorate. Senseney said the two wings last had a compliance inspection in 2006. The directorate was notified of the inspection Dec. 15, and Senseney said he believes they are ready for it. "We've got a lot of energy and a lot of double-checking going on," he said. "The process of regularly doing self inspections is working." The directorate provides program management for C-5, C-130, F-15, J-STARS aircraft and more. "It's important that interaction with the IG be very professional and that we put our best foot forward," he said. The 638th SCMG, activated in 2008, is part of the Air Force Global Logistics Support Center. The 638th SCMG manages repairable aircraft components which are common to all aircraft in the Air Force inventory, plus it manages parts that are unique to the aircraft managed at Robins. Members of the group ensure that those parts are available to users around the world.
