When traditional supply chain methods fail to provide essential aircraft parts, Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) steps in with its organic manufacturing capabilities. This process ensures that mission-ready aircraft are continuously returned to the Fleet, even when faced with supply constraints. Over the past three years, this in-house manufacturing has produced approximately $19 million in parts, significantly contributing to naval aviation readiness. FRCE's unique ability to produce one-off parts plays a crucial role, making them a vital asset to military aircraft maintenance.
