This afternoon, the 9th Hospital Center conducted a motorpool inspection prior to the close-out formation. Led by LTC Brown, MSG Norby, and MSG McCandless, the inspection focused on verifying that all vehicles, equipments and machines were properly equipped with their Technical Manual (TM). Having the correct TM readily available is critical—ensuring operators and maintainers can properly troubleshoot, repair, and sustain equipment when the mission demands it.

Following the inspection, Soldiers conducted a police call cleanup to maintain a clean, safe, and professional motorpool environment. These efforts reinforced the importance of discipline, accountability, and pride in our equipment and workspaces.

The event concluded with a safety brief to close out the week, underscoring that safety, standards, and readiness go hand in hand—both on and off duty.

At the 9th Hospital Center, we remain committed to enforcing maintenance discipline and ensuring our Soldiers and equipment are always prepared to answer the Nation’s call.
