Dustan Brown, a machinist in the Manufacturing Machine Shop at Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE), monitors progress of one of the depot’s computerized numerical control lathes as it machines an offset pin for use in an AV-8B Harrier. The Manufacturing Machine Shop at FRCE steps in to bridge the gap by manufacturing items on-site at the depot when they become unobtainable through traditional acquisition methods. FRCE produces about 75 percent of the organic manufacturing completed across the Commander, Fleet Readiness Centers (COMFRC) enterprise.
