NAVAL AIR STATION NORTH ISLAND, Calif. - Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) Site Yuma recently completed its new administration facility aboard Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma, Ariz.

The 3,000 square-foot building replaces antiquated Mobile Facilities vans that housed 10 administrative personnel. In addition to separated work centers, the building contains efficient HVAC, a break room and restroom facilities.

The structure cost more than $898,000 to build and was funded by MCAS Yuma. Furniture was funded by FRCSW.

Working under the FRCSW Field Service Program, FRCSW Site Yuma was established in 2005 and primarily conducts planned maintenance interval (PMI) and depot-level modification work to AV8B Harrier aircraft.

The 32-member Yuma staff also provides in-service repairs (ISR) to a variety of aircraft assigned to Naval Air Facility El Centro, Calif.

In February 2008, FRCSW Site Yuma moved into a 15,000 square-foot maintenance hangar which centralized much of the site’s workload.

Projected workload at Site Yuma includes F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and AV8B Harrier modifications, and ISRs to MV-22 Ospreys, F/A-18 Hornets and AH-1W Super Cobra helicopters.
