The 379th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron was tasked to move 51 vehicles and miscellaneous pieces of equipment from the former 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 1st Battalion, 43rd Air Defense Artillery Regiment site, to a collection point for further distribution. All vehicles were inoperable and had to be towed or loaded onto a flatbed trailer for movement. This was the final push in the complete movement of the 1-43rd ADA from their old site, to their new location. The move took three days to complete.
