Secondary Duties

- Maintain and understand site documentation such as parts request forms, equipment condition tags, timecards, and flight data and maintenance logs.
- Coordinate resupply and repair logistics activities for the aerostat subsystems.
- Train and certify other personnel in selected aerostat subsystem procedures.
- Support all security, logistics, and site‑specific requirements as directed when not in conflict with primary responsibilities.
