CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq - Spc. Harold Davis, a computer detections systems repairer with the 632nd Maintenance Company, 749th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 4th Sustainment Brigade, 103rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), a Clarksville, Tenn. native, has spent hours working with the CREW field service representative to keep the 632nd Maint. Company’s convoy escort teams safe.
Davis ensures that the CREW devices remain fully mission-capable at all times. He also makes sure they have the most current software and are accounted for in accordance with standard operating procedures and regulations.
“It is important that the CREW devices have the most current software to counter current threats used by the enemy,” he said.
To become a qualified CREW specialist, Davis attended a 40-hour course taught by the 224th Sustainment Brigade. In the class, he learned how to set up spectrum analyzers to verify the correct software was installed on the CREW devices. He also learned to load firmware and software and how to download the mission logs.
“It is imperative that the CREW specialist knows what they are doing,” said 1st Lt. James Schafer, the executive officer for the 632nd Maint. Company, a native of Dardanelle, Alaska. “If the [CREW Vehicle Receiver/Jammer] is not working, lives could be at risk.”
Davis said he is glad he attended the course, because he has a direct impact on keeping his fellow soldiers safe while they are traveling along the roads and highways of Iraq.
