Idaho Army National Guard Spc. James Frandsen works underneath the Humvee preparing to drain fluids from the transmission while in the cab of the vehicle, Pfc. Noah Martin is working to remove nuts, bolts and hinges that help hold the transmission in place. The removal of the faulty transmission required the removal of screws and bolts both inside and underneath the vehicle and in many instances were only located by feel rather than sight. In the cramped working area of the Humvee cab, Pfc Martin often felt for screws and bolts while referring to manuals and consulting with Spc. Frandsen before moving forward in repairs.
The Idaho Army National Guard’s Combined Services Maintenance Shop on Gowen Field supports seven Field Maintenance Shops throughout Idaho. CSMS provides support to Lewiston in the central northern region of Idaho nearly 300 miles from Gowen Field, to Caldwell, 27 west of Boise, to the Orchard Combat Training Center, located between Boise and Mountain Home in southwest Idaho, to Jerome 114 miles east of Boise in the farmlands of south central Idaho, to the eastern Idaho communities of Pocatello and Idaho Falls, and to the most northern Idaho National Guard armory in Post Falls. These FMS sites are spread far and wide apart from each other and Gowen Field, where the central support of CSMS is headquartered, and offer a complex set of challenges in order to fulfill the CSMS mission.
The CSMS also supports the repair and maintenance of the Idaho Army National Guard’s aviation units vehicles and ground assets based at Gowen Field, the 204th Regional Training Institute that trains soldiers as cavalry scouts, Bradley Fighting Vehicle crews, Abrams tanks crew members and maintainers, and several installation support units that round out the Idaho Army National Guard structure. CSMS is responsible for providing sustainment level maintenance to all customers which means keeping all the vehicles and machinery for the Idaho Army National Guard in working order.
