Kudos to Fleet Readiness Center East for earning its eighth Chief of Naval Operations Aviation Safety Award, recognizing its outstanding commitment to safe aviation operations and mishap prevention!
Military Aviation is one of the most dangerous activities our Services can conduct, and good maintenance is critical to safety and operational effectiveness.
Great job, team!
Another major recognition for the team at Fleet Readiness Center East.
FRCE has earned its eighth Chief of Naval Operations Aviation Safety Award, recognizing its outstanding commitment to safe aviation operations and mishap prevention.
In fiscal year 2025, FRCE at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point returned 81 mission-capable aircraft to the fleet and completed nearly 140 flights and 200 flight hours. All with no mishaps.
FRCE was one of just 48 organizations across the Navy chain of command to receive the award and one of only two within Naval Air Systems Command.
This is another example of the highly skilled workforce and critical aviation capabilities that make FRCE and MCAS Cherry Point such an important part of our nation’s defense.
Congratulations to the entire FRC East team!
