CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq - Three soldiers with the 565th Quartermaster Company, 110th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 224th Sustainment Brigade, 103rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), have been running the regulated waste yard at Contingency Operating Base Adder, Iraq.
Sgt. Erik Fortson, regulated materials noncommissioned officer with the 565th QM Company and a Little Rock, Ark., native, Spc. Ivelisse Torres, fuel point clerk with the 565th QM Company, and a Puerto Rico native, and Staff Sgt. Melvin Baez, yard non-commissioned officer-in-charge with the 565th QM Company, and a Puerto Rico native, have been on this mission since arriving on COB Adder in October.
The yard is open for appointments from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week. The yard takes different fuels, batteries and aerosol cans. Any materials deemed potentially dangerous can be taken to the yard. The yard supports all of COB Adder and is for both military and Kellogg Brown and Root use.
“We can pretty much take anything that would be deemed hazardous,” Torres said.
The regulated waste yard was moved from the sixth street area, a place it had been since 2003, to the 565th QM Company location in December. “It was pretty hectic,” Baez said. “We had a lot of stuff to move and a lot of preparation of the new area. It is good though since there is so much more space now.”
