SPC Shepard executed both Korean Enduring Equipment Set and Organizational Property inventories as part of the ongoing HHT change of command, while simultaneously supporting the Squadron Operations section in the establishment of the Squadron Main Command Post. SPC Shepard worked tirelessly to ensure the HHT Arms Room prepares for upcoming physical security inspections and has already provided a level of organization within the arms room that far exceeds the product that was inherited during the RIP with his counterpart. SPC Shepard also developed and implemented a new MAL for the HHT arms room to improve efficiency and support EDRE operations and weapons draw procedures for HHT.
