Airmen constantly move up and down the stockroom aisles on hoister machines that allow them to reach the right supply no matter where it's located within Eglin's supply warehouse. Eglin's materiel management flight is the largest supply flight in the U.S. Approximately 125 military and civilian personnel manage more than 50,000 items valued at $875 million. They also manage more than 300 nonexpendable equipment accounts tracking more than $700 million in assets spread across Eglin and other locations. The materiel management flight is part of the 96th Logistics Readiness Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
