	Davis-Monthan Air Force Base - AMARG
		The Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) is a one-of-a-kind specialized facility within the Air Force Materiel Command structure.
		AMARG provides critical aerospace maintenance and regeneration capabilities for Joint and Allied/Coalition warfighters in support of global operations and agile combat support for a wide range of military operations.
		Today, this facility is the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), which has grown to include more than 4,200 aircraft and 40 aerospace vehicles from the Air Force, Navy-Marine Corps, Army, Coast Guard, and several federal agencies including NASA.

	Definition of Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center
		On May 1, 1992, the 836th Air Division was inactivated and the 355th Fighter Wing was redesignated the 355th Wing in tune with the Air Force's philosophy of one base, one wing, one commander.
		AMARC is responsible for more than 5,000 aircraft stored at D-M. An Air Force Material Command unit, AMARC is responsible for the storage of excess Department of Defense and Coast Guard aircraft.
		The center annually in-processes about 400 aircraft for storage and out-processes about the same number for return to the active service, either as remotely controlled drones or sold to friendly foreign governments.

	NOVA \| Battle of the X-Planes \| Where Combat Planes Retire \| PBS
		To ensure the plane didn't tip back onto its tail when it was towed away for removal of its tail section, workers had to attach thick 15-foot timbers to the nose wheel wells, and as many as 25 personnel had to climb into the nose section to weigh it down.
		After removing parts for reuse in operational B-52H bombers, AMARC teams turned for most of these eliminations to a makeshift guillotine: a crane that dropped a 13,000-pound blade of steel from a height of 80 feet onto the aircraft.
		(AMARC's symbol is a phoenix rising from the ashes.) In fiscal year 2002, for instance, the organization regenerated 18 F-16A Fighting Falcons for return to active service.

	cold war leftovers - Davis Monthan and AMARC
		Now known as the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center (AMARC), this facility was first established as an aircraft storage site at the end of WWII.
		Located on Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson Arizona, AMARC is sometimes unfairly called the "Desert Boneyard." In reality, this Air Force facility is a combination maintenance center, storage site, reclamation facility and disposal center which provides services to all branches of the U.S. military as well as other federal agencies such as NASA.
		Finally Type 4000, or "disposal," aircraft are brought to AMARC as a final step before they are sold to U.S. allies, scrapped or turned over to museums.

		Abstract: There is tremendous potential at AMARC to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations by reengineering their computer processes.
		AMARC's justification for maintaining a standard base supply system (SBSS) host account is 30 years old and the reasons for the host account versus a satellite account are now in question.
		The conclusions of this study are: (1) The AMARC SBSS must remain a host account (at the current RPS manning levels) due to the unique AMARC Edits and Analysis program.

		The area on which AMARC now stands originally held Tucson's municipal airport which was opened around 1919 and subsequently became a military establishment.
		In 1985 the name was changed again to the 'Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center', 'AMARC' (pronounced a-mark), to underscore the dynamic aspect of the center's mission and to try to lose its image as a 'boneyard'.
		The facility in fact regenerates a significant sum back into the US economy by the sale of aircraft, parts regeneration and other business enterprises and is not simply an aircraft graveyard.
