In April 2026, then Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) Commanding Officer, CAPT Luis “Rick” Rivera presented challenge coins to the Industrial Engineering Technology (IET) Components Team in recognition of a major milestone for the LM2500 Single Shank Turbine (SST) engine program. Over the course of a rigorous month, the team updated more than 900 component routes for the SST. (read about the LM2500 program here).

The milestone achievement is expected to save the LM2500 Production team roughly 200 hours of labor per engine and significantly reduce rework by standardizing a new cleaning process across these routes. Congratulations to initiative leads Branden Van Esch and Mark Anzaldua, alongside team members Rayson Retener, Chris Perez, Roy Layug, and Rob Lindberg for driving this critical project over the finish line!
