RAMS crew to the rescue

Boeing

A C-17 Globemaster III crew at Joint Base Charleston, SC, unloads supplies and equipment needed by a Boeing RAMS team to repair a damaged C-17 in Central Asia.

If there is a mishap involving a U.S. Air Force C-17, a global team jumps into action to do what’s needed to get the much needed transport back in the air and in service. It’s all part of the Globemaster III Integrated Sustainment Program, a performance-based logistics contract Boeing has with the U.S. Air Force.

Some repairs are routine, others are major and more challenging and, at times, hazardous. It’s all in a day’s work for Boeing field engineers on the RAMS - or Recovery and Modification Services - team. In this video, follow a RAMS team as they prepare to deploy to Central Asia to repair a damaged C-17.
