This includes about $16.5 million in parts and materials to support combat platforms and war efforts.<\/p>\n<p>As part of their site visit, Chamberlain and Anderson were also provided a tour of the worksite, which included an overview of the facilities, planned infrastructure upgrades and impacts on storing APS-2 equipment outdoors at the site.

APS-2 sites help reduce deployment timelines, improve deterrence capabilities and provide additional combat power for contingency operations. APS-2 equipment may also be drawn for use in training and exercises.<\/p>\n<p>The 405th AFSB is assigned to U.S. Army Sustainment Command and headquartered in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The brigade provides materiel enterprise support to U.S. forces throughout Europe and Africa \u2013 providing theater sustainment logistics; synchronizing acquisition, logistics and technology; and leveraging U.S. Army Materiel Command\u2019s materiel enterprise to support joint forces.
