# Maintaining critical support to the Marine aviation fleet worldwide takes center stage on DSCR

By Leon W. Moore, Acting Chief of Public AffairsDLA Aviation Public Affairs Office

                RICHMOND, Va.  –              
The Defense Logistics Aviation Marine Aviation Wholesale Resident Course took place June 6-8 in the Frank B. Lotts Conference Center on Defense Supply Center Richmond, Virginia.

This is the first time the course has been offered since 2019 due the social restrictions put in place by the DLA director due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

DLA Aviation’s Customer Operations Directorate’s Marine Customer Facing Division’s V-22 Osprey Weapons Systems Support Manager Marine Corps Capt. Elias Jimenez said the three-day course focused on how the wholesale system works to optimize local operational retail inventory. Other focus areas included improving technical research capability, as well as improving overall supply effectiveness for the organizational and intermediate levels of maintenance.

Special emphasis was placed on non-mission capable supply scenarios, commonly referred to as NMCS, and how to prevent or minimize these occurrences. Marine Customer Facing Division Operations Officer/KC-130J Weapon System Support Manager Marine Corps Maj. Hunter Hayes said a NMCS scenario is where an aircraft is down for the repair or replacing of a mission-critical part, resulting in a degradation of the squadron’s aircraft readiness and combat lethality. 

Hayes said preventing and minimizing these types of scenarios is an all-hands effort. He said this starts at the Marine Aviation Logistics Squadrons managing their retail effectiveness and communicating requirements to DLA.

The 39 military and civilian individuals who attended the course are attached to or work with Marine aviation units across the country and as far away as Okinawa, Japan.
