I was just curious on how many people are assigned to man the SOC units. on a 10-60 I am amazed on the resources that can respond so quickly. SOC Compressor,Logistic's,MSUetc... was just curious on how the assignment worked on the "island". I know here in Middle Tennessee everything is crossed staffed and the company has to respond back to the barn to pick up the special piece,which can have a long ETA for that special piece. Thank you
