"Western Australia’s joint logistical sustainment capability took a leap forward recently with the activation of the Regional Maintenance Effects Team (RMET) at 13th Combat Service Support Battalion (13CSSB).

"Activation of the western RMET inside 13CSSB’s 113 Workshop Company maintenance facility marked the culmination of a collaborative effort between enabling staff from 13th Brigade, Joint Logistics Unit – West, and industry partners.

"It will enhance Army’s maintenance readiness in support of the 2nd (Australian) Division’s mission."

....

"“Despite being in its early stages, the RMET has already demonstrated the potential to deliver up to 400 hours of materiel maintenance effort per month, with a primary focus on scheduled maintenance tasks,” WO2 Rocca said."

A section within Maintenance tasked to exploit local industry?

Just doing some light math here but if a workweek for a full timer is 35 hours that means one person ought to produce some 140 hours of work per month. 400 hours/month would be the work product of three people. ?????

Isn't that the equivalent of saying: "Bruce, Bruce and Bruce all showed up this month." ?????

Now rescinded publications built O&E on the assumption that CAF members have increased leave, training, PT and other absences, so the planning figure per week was around 25 hours of wrench turning (annualized), so about 1300 hours of production.
