We are staffed and funded to perform planned maintenance interval events as well as depot level structural repair of all forward-deployed type/model/series U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft.
Planned Maintenance Interval (PMI) Line: FA-18 SuperHornet and EA-18 Growler
Detachment Iwakuni is the home of FRC WESTPAC's FA-18/EA-18 PMI maintenance line supporting multiple Navy and Marine Corps squadrons throughout WESTPAC in a manner that demonstrates commitment to excellence. The PMI workload is currently under contract with NIPPI Corporation.
In-Service Repair (ISR) Capabilities
Our teams of USCS artisans are responsible for Depot Level In-Service Repairs (ISR), providing rapid, quality ISR’s with experienced depot field teams at major bases in the Indo Pacific Area of Responsibility as well as providing dedicated ISR teams to each deployed carrier strike group through Asia and the Middle East to the Mediterranean supporting all Navy and Marine Corps Type/Model/Series aircraft. There is no place we won't go to fulfill our mission of accelerating naval aviation readiness for the Warfighter.
Additionally, our skilled artisans manufacture a variety of sheet metal, composite, and machined parts. We maintain a full inventory to facilitate repairs in addition to having deployable tool and material boxes. Our repair teams are supported by an Engineering Branch and a comprehensive Technical Publication Library. The Engineering team coordinates unique aircraft repairs with the COMFRC's stateside Fleet Readiness Centers.
