The program's goal is to provide an assessment of how the base is complying with environmental, safety and occupational health laws and Air Force requirements.

BY LEE ANNE HENSLEY Hilltop Times staff E very spring, several units at Hill Air Force Base undergo the Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health Compliance Assessment and Management Program, or ESOHCAMP. Despite the latter part of the acronym, the program is not a two-week outdoor adventure, rather it is a two-week audit that inspects all of Hill's maintenance and sustainment wings, as well as all Department of Defense tenants including the Army Rail Shop. Also included in the ESOHCAMP's scope are the Utah Test and Training Range and the Little Mountain facility. "During the first week, auditors will be concentrating on Hill Air Force Base and during the second week they will concentrate on the UTTR," says Ryan Shaw, Ogden Air Logistics Center Environmental Law Branch chief. The annual inspection will be held April 20-30, and this year the ESOHCAMP will be an internal audit, meaning the audit team will be made up of individuals from Hill AFB. Every third year, which will happen next spring, the audit team will be comprised of individuals from Air Force Materiel Command headquarters and possibly other AFMC installations. This year's internal audit Mil Embracing the art, science of supply chain management HIJUI 415th SCMS changes buildings as it leads USAF transformation with eLog21 BY ANNE HOWE 415th Supply Chain Management Squadron o n April 19, 2008, plans for physical organizational consolidation of the 415th Supply Chain Management Squadron personnel were initiated. The established goal of the consolidation was to unite, in one building, Air Force Global Logistic Support Center personnel operating under the 415th SCMS, thereby resulting in improved efficiency and effectiveness. This enormous undertaking involving the movement of approximately 500 personnel, associated furniture, files, technology and communications was daunting to say the least. The physical movement of personnel and equipment was a coordinated effort, accomplished thanks to the cooperation, dedication, and hard work of all members of the 415th SCMS and the 84th Combat Sustainment Group. With the support and teamwork of the entire squadron, the consolidation was executed with chess-like strategy, perfectly orchestrated with every move toward a common goal. Costs were kept to a minimum through recycling and the reuse of moving materials and accurate planning of future needs. The consolidation plan commenced on Nov. 3 and was completed on Jan. 25 ending with enhanced team integrity and identity, esprit de corps and synergy. The 415th SCMS now enjoys a better quality of life and a better workplace enabling its mission as it provides commodity life cycle support. This support includes many components including developing enterprise demand and supply plans, developing and implementing sourcing strategies, executing the supply plan, executing cognizant engineering authority to meet customer requirements and manning support for 19 Space and C3I systems. This physical move by the 415th SCMS was part of the Expeditionary Logistics for the 21st Century (eLog21) transformation. In the Supply Chain Management world, the very first phase of this change was the creation of a central, process-driven hub networking USAF logistics experts with wholesale and retail logistics, as well as the integration and oversight of all logistic processes, technology and resources to deliver end-to-end warfighter support with increased velocity and at reduced cost. The Air Force Global Logistics Support Center is this central hub, designed to ensure the success of eLog21. On April 8, 2008, among developments at Hill Air Force Base on this front, the 748th Sapply Chain Management Group was activated during a ceremony at the Hill Aerospace Museum under the command of Col. Eric E. Fox. A key player in the Air Force GLSC, the 748th SCMG provides enterprise-wide planning of the supply chain, including planning for material, maintenance and distribution. The 415th SCMS networks current locations, skill sets and capabilities into a single Supply Chain organization serving the warfighter with a single, supply chain management process owner.
