The lack cf hard smface for operating XHE, the increased rate of deterioration such as rust and corrosion resultin~ from salt water> intense heat, and mral sand or dust, sad the parts replacement problem as a result of non-standard equipment~ increased the maintenance requirement and deadline time. Consideration should be givento the replacement of old equipment and standardization of all Quartermaster MHE. Standardization would tend to eliminate some of the parts replacement problem and reduce maintenance workload and deadline time. Imring the operational period the motor pool was handicapped by ‘ inadequate shop buildings, wash racks> lubrication racks> and parking space● ilnew shop building is in the u5’I’-L958constructionprogram The wash rack l~cated near building 67’9in the J= Force area was mt satisfacto~~ as the pumping unit was obsolete and frequently out of comruissiono i~request was made to -L~ post E@neer for a survey to be made to ~~te~e during Lpril 1956 if brackish water was av~~le in the motor pool area and if a new wash rack could be constructed from 1?56 miscellaneous funds.
