973rd Engineer Maintanence Company (Eng Maint Co)

An important factor in the success of the huge airfield construction program was the rapid and excellent repair of heavy airfield construction equipment by three Engineer Maintanence Companies: the 471st, 475th, and the 973rd. When possible, mobile repair units of these organizations repaired equipment at the airfield sites, while most heavy repair was completed at the maintanence units own bases.
