det should divide into two shifts (fig. 2-19) to achievemaximum production and to avoid overworking thetroops.The equipment platoon supervisor plays akey role, along with the air det staff, whenprioritizing CESE and supplies to be mounted out.Certain CESE and supplies, such as tractor andtrailers, forklifts, the maintenance field crewtruck, light plants, and various tools, are required.These CESE and supplies are used to support thebuilding of pallets, disassembly of CESE,breakdown of the camp, garbage runs, hauling ofCESE, and transport supplies and personnel to thestaging area. This movement from the campsite tothe airfield may require a tactical or nontacticalconvoy procedure.Another area the equipment supervisor mustconsider is a productive method for washing andpreparing CESE for the mount-out. The task ofcleaning CESE is one that must not be overlookedand should be addressed before deploying to themission site. The prepping of CESE in the field can bea time-consuming task and, if not properly planned,could result in not meeting the deadline for the jointinspection.An efficient means for washing CESE is tolocate a washrack or to build one. Someconsiderations in selecting the location of thewashrack are as follows: the distance the CESE mustbe driven once it has been washed, the amount ofwater required to wash each piece of CESE (if usingthe water truck), and the distance the water truckmust travel to obtain water.A pressure washer located at the washrack isdesirable and should be augmented to the air det;however, they are sometimes hard to obtain.
