Staff Sgt. Efrem Flores, aerospace ground equipment craftsmen with the 380th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron, works on a piece of AGE equipment at his unit at a non-disclosed base in Southwest Asia on Feb. 5, 2010. Maintenance Airmen like Flores are part of the effort spearheaded by an initiative from Headquarters Air Mobility Command at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., that focuses on changing the use of how aircraft auxiliary power units are utilized. According to the AMC Fuel Efficiency Office, C-5, C-17 and KC-10 aircraft operated approximately 76,609 sorties in fiscal year 2011. Reducing APU use on each of these sorties by 1.5 hours could have saved nearly $700,000 per month.
