ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- Representatives from the Royal Jordanian Armed Forces visited Anniston Army Depot Jan. 7-8 to view the installation's Nichols Industrial Complex.
"They wanted to see our facilities and how we perform our repair and overhaul processes," said Ronnie Webb, Maintenance Management Specialist for the Directorate of Production Management's Vehicle Planning Division.
The depot plans to induct M88A1 Recovery Vehicles for Jordan in late spring or early summer in a foreign military sales recapitalization program.
A recapitalization program is similar to an overhaul, but can be more in-depth as certain parts are replaced with new components, rather than reworked or repaired ones.
When each vehicle completes the recapitalization process, it will have zero miles and zero hours on it.
"This means it is made to be like a new vehicle," said Webb. "When the vehicles are inducted, they will look like rust buckets. When they come out, they look brand new."
During their tour of the installation, the Jordanian representatives viewed the Combat Vehicle Repair Facility, the Powertrain Transmission Facility, the Powertrain Flexible Maintenance Facility and some of the support shops which will repair or overhaul hydraulics and other components for the M88A1 vehicles.
