Mission

The National Maintenance Training center has been missioned by NGB-ARL-M to provide maintenance training and repair of ARNG 3000 gph Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU). It is the intent of the NGB-ARL-M to send all ROWPUs to the NMTC for a modified Depot rebuild and repair. The program is centrally funded by NGB using depot maintenance dollars. By conducting the repair program the NMTC has the unique ability to offer ROWPU specific maintenance training to Soldiers that possess the Maintenance MOS of 91J and are Military Technicians that are required to repair the units as part of their Technician duties.

Each training opportunity can be tailored to the specific needs of the Soldier or the Technician. A sample of the training that can be offered is listed below.

Maintenance tasks trained-on include Repair of Pump Assemblies; Correct Malfunction of Gages (Non Electrical); Correct Malfunction of Reverse Osmosis Pump on a 3000 GPH unit; Correct Malfunction of High Pressure Pumps on a 3000 GPH unit. Training also includes other 91J skill level one tasks and a block of instruction on proper Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS).

The ROWPU is a complex piece of equipment consisting of the water purification unit, the generator and trailer. From a Soldier's perspective three MOSs repair various elements, (91J, 52D, and 91B), but from a technicians perspective, all three elements are taught, to insure the technician is fully trained and can move a non mission capable unit to mission capable. If Soldiers desire additional training in the 52D and 91B the contractor staff can accommodate with some additional preparation.
