Maintenance Soldiers demonstrate Forward Repair System
Soldiers from the Richmond-based Company B, 429th Brigade Support Battalion, 116th Brigade Combat team demonstrate the set up of the M7 Forward Repair System June 16 at Fort Pickett. The FRS is a maintenance shop on wheels that features an on-board crane, air compressor, 30 kilowatt tactical quiet generator, welder, and full compliment of diagnostic and hand tools. It is built on a flatrack and carried by a Palletized Load System and is designed to push maintenance capability further forward on the battlefield. During the demonstration, the crew was able to set up the system and make it fully operational in just over six minutes. (Photo by Cotton Puryear, Virginia Guard Public Affairs)
