Rescue battalion, Tactical support unit 1, Command Tactical unit 1, SOC Logistics, SOC compressor, and maybe the dewatering unit? Can’t remember, plus a bunch of other stuff like spares I think.

That’s an awful amount of rigs that are parked/ stored outdoor exposed to the weather. SOC truly needs a large warehouse to store all their specialized equipment , central located in the city easily accessible to major roads and highways in the western Queens area.…Astoria , LIC, or Maspeth.
SOC isn’t going anywhere and is only getting bigger. Could even move SOC tools in there too.

Out of curiosity, does anybody know what the staffing is at SOC Island? Off the top of my head:
- RB (2)
- CTU (4)
- TAC1 (1)
- SOC Compressor (1)

Is there more? Do SOC Logistics and the Dewatering Unit have dedicated staff?

Are they light duty SOC FF or gen-pop FF?

Roll Off ...I know
Hook Lift ....I know
Spider Truck ???? I don't know

Also are there plans to build a bigger building or add an additional one....seems like a lot more then I imagined sitting outside and not on shore power

Could the MCI Poss (5-poss 1 for each borough), Skid steer Pod and Collapse Pods be put somewhere else considering that's about maybe 8 or more pods and they aren't stacked

It just doesn't seem like everything would fit there......
