Lakenheath logistics team wins award

RAF MILDENHALL, England — The 48th Logistics Readiness Squadron at RAF Lakenheath received the Air Force Productivity Excellence Award recently for efforts that saved the service more than $6 million over a four-year period.

A team of traffic management flight cargo movement logisticians developed an alternative to using airlift to transport parts and equipment to deployed locations. Instead, the team developed a method to use European-based trucking companies, according to information from the 48th Fighter Wing public affairs office.

Since developing the plan, trucks have carried parts as far away as Africa, Turkey and places in Europe.
