det should divide into two shifts (fig. 2-19) to achieve maximum production and to avoid overworking the troops. The equipment platoon supervisor plays a key role, along with the air det staff, when prioritizing CESE and supplies to be mounted out. Certain CESE and supplies, such as tractor and trailers, forklifts, the maintenance field crew truck, light plants, and various tools, are required. These CESE and supplies are used to support the building of pallets, disassembly of CESE, breakdown of the camp, garbage runs, hauling of CESE, and transport supplies and personnel to the staging area. This movement from the campsite to the airfield may require a tactical or nontactical convoy procedure. Another area the equipment supervisor must consider is a productive method for washing and preparing CESE for the mount-out. The task of cleaning CESE is one that must not be overlooked and should be addressed before deploying to the mission site. The prepping of CESE in the field can be a time-consuming task and, if not properly planned, could result in not meeting the deadline for the joint inspection. An efficient means for washing CESE is to locate a washrack or to build one. Some considerations in selecting the location of the washrack are as follows: the distance the CESE must be driven once it has been washed, the amount of water required to wash each piece of CESE (if using the water truck), and the distance the water truck must travel to obtain water. A pressure washer located at the washrack is desirable and should be augmented to the air det; however, they are sometimes hard to obtain.
