Chief Warrant Officer (CWO3) Augustine is our Maintenance Officer heading up our maintenance division. As head of the Maintenance Department, the Maintenance Officer (MO) manages the department and is responsible to the Commanding Officer for the accomplishment of the department's mission. MOs also coordinate the Air Wing Training Plan to ensure billet requirements,personnel identification, and assignments are satisfied. The MO will ensure the Maintenance Training Improvement Program (MTIP)is Type Command directives.
Together, they both administer the operation of the Maintenance Department
per the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP),(the Aviation Maintenance "BIBLE").
They also define and assign responsibilities, functions, and operations per
existing directives, organize the department and initiate requests for,
and make recommendations relative to, changes concerning personnel, facilities,
and equipment required to accomplish assigned tasks, ensure the accomplishment
of training for permanently and temporarily assigned personnel, analyze the
mission accomplishment and capabilities of the department and ensure timely
planning is conducted and a statement of requirements to meet future needs is
initiated, using reports provided by the MDS, on a continuous and progressive
basis. Blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda, the list goes on and on and on...
The point being made: They are the brains of the operation.
