INNOVATOR:
Master Sgt. Leon M. White Jr.
UNIT:
86th Munitions Maintenance Squad-ron/Armament Flight
ACTION:
White, along with his flight, was recognized for his efforts in partnering with Luxembourg carpenters to create custom storage crates devised from serviceable bomb racks originally slated for disposal. White and his team used their creativity in designing custom MAU-12 bomb rack crates from serviceable bomb racks to ensure availability to all Air Force F-15, F-16, B-52, and A-10 units. By doing so, units will save $22K per rack. Currently, the plan calls for 150 racks totaling $3.3 million in total savings.
