Up in the cab of the Humvee, Pfc. Noah Martin is feeling around inside the transmission cover to locate points of attachment that need removal. The work inside the cab required Martin to work in very cramped spaces where his vision was supplemented by feel and reference of repair manuals in order to find and locate points of attachment needed to be removed.
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 the vehicles and machinery for the Idaho Army National Guard throughout the entire Gem State in working order.
CSMS employs 62 technicians who manage supply and logistics, diagnostics, repairs, calibration and fabrication. CSMS regularly services, repairs and maintains wheeled, tracked and electronic equipment.
