Florida ANG Logistics Unit Facilitates Seamless Transition To F-35

New Fighter Jets Bring Significant Changes

The 125th Fighter Wing of the Florida Air National Guard is transitioning from the F-15 Eagle to the F-35A Lightning II fighter jet, and the professionals of the 125th Logistics Readiness Squadron made sure that the changeover was streamlined and efficient by having the personnel, equipment, and resources in the right place at the right time.

The appearance of the F-35s certainly brought significant changes in the logistical demands for the 125th LRS and each section of the squadron had to overcome its own unique difficulties adapting to the advanced technology and specialized requirements of the fifth-generation aircraft.

The materials management, transportation management, fuels management, deployment and distribution, and vehicle management sections all participated in the strategic movement of thousands of aircraft components to various bases and storage facilities while also receiving and integrating new aircraft parts into the inventory of the wing.

Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kylie Walker, the senior enlisted leader of the 125th LRS said, “Our key successes during the conversion process include training personnel on the F-35's logistics systems, ensuring major infrastructure upgrades, dispersing more than 15,000 F-15 parts and equipment while receiving more than 8,000 F-35A repair assets and support equipment.”

“This effort improved logistical decision-making for F-35A parts and equipment induction, and F-15 asset dispersal,” said Walker. “In addition, it kickstarted our initiative for heightened operational efficiency, continuous improvement, and timely parts delivery, crucial for maintaining readiness, reducing downtime, and meeting strategic objectives.”
