AIR MOBILITY COMMAND (AMC) AEROSPACE GROUND EQUIPMENT (AGE) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE FACILITIES DESIGN GUIDE (MAR 1999)

AIR MOBILITY COMMAND (AMC) AEROSPACE GROUND EQUIPMENT (AGE) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE FACILITIES DESIGN GUIDE (MAR 1999)., This design guide provides the basic criteria to organize, evaluate, plan, program, and design Air Mobility Command (AMC) Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) maintenance and storage facilities. It applies to the design of all new construction and renovation projects. The information presented is intended to make commanders and their staff aware of important design considerations and to aid them in project development. Quality facilities will improve the maintenance specialists efficiency and ability to service and repair equipment, and encourage pride of ownership in their workplace. Aerospace Ground Equipment facilities are an essential component of aircraft operations. Facilities are required to support AGE activities for the following AMC aircraft: C-5, C-17, C-130, KC-10, and KC-135. The types of equipment requiring repair, servicing, maintenance, and storage include powered and non-powered units. The quantity and type of equipment plays a major part in determining the space requirements for the facility. Fully functional and properly configured facilities will ensure that a higher percentage of the equipment is kept in operation. This guide is for use by commanders, logistics personnel, base civil engineers, headquarters staffs, design architects and engineers, and others involved in Aerospace Ground Equipment maintenance and storage facilities. It is intended to help all participants better understand AGE facility requirements and design criteria so they can effectively participate in the project development process. Use this guide to supplement other Air Force and Department of Defense policies, instructions, and standards.
