The 10th Mountain Division based at Fort Drum, New York sanctioned the AJ1 Fly Away team to assist in clearing their excess equipment on location for three weeks, to support the U. S. Army Rapid Removal of Excess (R2E) program.
The 10th Mountain Division prepares globally responsive combat-ready forces and, on order, rapidly deploys adaptive expeditionary units and executes unified land operations in support of the Joint Force. Braced for the New York winter, ten Sierra Army Depot (SIAD) employees worked with the units to separate excess material to go back to SIAD and be brought to record in Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-A) for other units across the world to see and requisition. The SIAD AJ1 Fly Away team has gained a lot of popularity among the Army leaders as AJ1 remains the Subject Matter Experts in classification and identification. Labeled as the “DELTA FORCE OF THE 92 ALPHA’S” by the Army Sustainment Command community, the team has set the bar across the nation.
The requests for them to support clearing excess supplies anywhere in the world are a direct reflection of the pride they take in their work, and the pride they take in representing SIAD.
