    This Enlisted Maintainers element of a newly opened Enlisted Force Exhibit is located in the Korean War Gallery of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. The full exhibit, which contains nearly 50 elements, is placed throughout the 10 galleries of the museum.
With the arrival of the jet age after World War II, the Air Force began purchasing equipment and using technical data for troubleshooting.  However, when the Korean War began, the newly independent Air Force struggled to provide enough trained personnel.
Maintainers served 12-month tours in Korea. When they gained proficiency with their aircraft, they returned to the U.S. and an inexperienced maintainer took over. Inadequate maintenance, combined with challenges such as rough runways, cold weather, and supply shortages, caused aircraft to deteriorate faster than expected.
In response, the USAF used better-equipped facilities in nearby Japan for Rear Echelon Combined Maintenance Operation (RECMO), which proved successful.  (U.S. Air Force photo by Ty Greenlees)
