DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. --  Members of the 94th Airlift Wing are now well into the preparation phase for the upcoming Logistics Compliance Assessment Program (LCAP) inspection, scheduled for Feb. 1-7.

An LCAP is conducted to measure a unit's ability to perform key logistics functions.

Units directly involved are the 94th Maintenance Group, 94th Logistics Readiness Squadron and 80th Aerial Port Squadron. However, a member of any unit is subject to being inspected.

"Members should have a positive attitude and be proactive in showing inspectors what they do to make our wing the best in the Air Force Reserve Command," said Brian C. Ferrell, 94 LRS commander.

If asked a question that you don't know the answer to, it is acceptable to admit that and find someone who does.

"Personnel are expected to try and fix any problems as soon as possible and let the inspection team know that it has been fixed," said Senior Master Sgt. Glen F. Saunders, 94th Maintenance Group superintendent.

The inspection team has the same mission as members of the wing, to make this base the best that it can be. The only difference is they use a written report for processes to be corrected.

"Our wing commander and base leadership are confident Dobbins will earn another great inspection result," said Ferrell.
