    380th Air Expeditionary Wing

    SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Airman Kasey Cuthbert is a material management apprentice with the 380th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron at a non-disclosed base in Southwest Asia.

    In his career field, he's required to maintain qualification in preparing and maintaining documentation and records associated with inventory management actions, his official Air Force job description shows. His job skills also include issuing and transferring property, conducting inventories and segregating and preparing property for storage as well as identifying items and condition of property.

    Material management Airmen like Cuthbert have to maintain mandatory knowledge in basic mathematics, supply policies and procedures, Air Force property accounting, stock and inventory control, accountability and responsibility, principles of property accounting through manual or automated data processing, storage methods, warehouse control (receipt, issue and disposal) and materiel handling techniques.

    They also must know methods of preparing and maintaining supply records, manual and automated supply accounting systems, logistics principles and interactions (supply, maintenance, transportation and procurement), hazardous material and waste procedures; and supply management for contingency operations.

    Cuthbert is deployed from the 366th Logistics Readiness Squadron at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, and his hometown is Massillon, Ohio.

    The 380th ELRS is a sub-unit of the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing. The wing is home to the KC-10 Extender, U-2 Dragon Lady, E-3 Sentry and RQ-4 Global Hawk aircraft. The wing is comprised of four groups and 12 squadrons and the wing's deployed mission includes air refueling, surveillance and reconnaissance in support of overseas contingency operations in Southwest Asia. The 380th AEW supports operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom and the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa.
