FRCE hosts Marine Corps Installations East commander
FRCE Commanding Officer Col. Thomas A. Atkinson, second from right, discusses a prototype of a 522 fitting, a component of the H-53 heavy-lift helicopter, with Brig. Gen. Andrew M. Niebel, commanding general of MCIEAST-MCB Camp Lejeune, during a Sept. 24 tour of the depot. When supply constraints made the component impossible to attain within the needed timeframe, engineers and artisans at Fleet Readiness Center East worked together to develop a solution for manufacturing the part.
