He provided vital information to the impoundment official that was utilized by Pratt & Whitney, driving a fleet-wide Technical Order change benchmarking a new dry ice installation method for the F100 enterprise.

Ben's skill as mentor and trainer enabled readiness of four SrA to receive MXG/CC approval for limited Red Xs which facilitated a 200% increase in work-center qualifications and cemented 366 FW
as the DoDs #1 producer of 220 War Readiness Engines.

Ben led the 388 MXS Centralized Repair Facility as lead expediter. Managing 52 personnel, he developed shop best practices that drove 27K maintenance actions and 55 flight line repairs. His
exemplary leadership earned his flight a notable 95% quality assurance pass rate, solidifying the Wg’s 24K sorties and 32K flying hours that powered 6 MAJCOMs.

Ben directed 2 crews through 5K maintenance actions across 8 diverse module configurations. He rectified section inefficiencies, focusing on prioritizing production & identifying supply trends
that streamlined 15 finals. His prowess cut overhaul time in half & boosted annual production by 150%, which was vital to the generation of 31 engine spares.

Streamlined ops by establishing an inventory tracking system and partnering with the Sq’s non-destructive inspection team to develop an inspection process improvement plan. These new
strategies slashed 3 inspection days from engine overhauls, recouping 8K man-hrs across 2 Flt’s in the Sq annually and fueled the Wg’s 1st 100% spare level in 2 yrs.

Managed deployed engine run program for 386 AEW. Benjamin established a standardized engine run certification process during Ali Al Salem AB Air-staff transition, qualifying 13 personnel across
3 Air Force specialties. His leadership guaranteed 100% qualification for C-130J operations directly supporting OPERATION INHERENT RESOLVE & SPARTAN SHIELD.

Ben demonstrated superb leadership during a maintenance surge by guiding his section through the overhaul of 6 modules in 1 month. This drove production of 4 engine spares, supporting the Wg's
INDOPACOM deployment, garnering his team Sq recognition.
