NAACS MEMBERSHIP

NON MILITARY APPLICATIONS
NAACS Members' Services to the Community and Government

NAACS members and the services they provide are not limited to just selling parts to DoD in support of our nation's military. They also have a vital role in many of our nation's local and regional communities and assist in the preservation of our national forests, as well as help save lives. NAACS members provide the parts and services needed to maintain formerly DoD-owned surplus military aircraft acquired from the DoD by firefighters and police officers of various state agencies. These firefighters utilize these aircraft, some of which are owned and operated firsthand by NAACS members, in managing, controlling and helping to put out forest fires across the country, saving millions in property damage as well as the lives of unfortunate homeowners caught in the wake of one of these fires, while police officers and agencies utilize these aircraft in the war on drugs as well as routine police work by air. Additionally, many other operators that use formerly DoD-owned surplus military aircraft for industrial lifting are dependent on NAACS members to provide the necessary parts needed to keep these aircraft operational and airworthy. NAACS members, through the use of their inventories of hard-to-find military surplus aircraft parts, help local law enforcement, local and national firefighters, as well as play a role in the industrial logging and lifting industry by allowing these varied agencies and professions to serve their communities in a timely and affordable fashion.

Of course, NAACS members have become a valuable support commodity for our own military, acting indeed as DoD's "safety net" providing a low-cost warehouse for surplus military aircraft parts at a huge reduction in price and cost savings to the taxpayer. NAACS members also contribute to the Foreign Military Service Program (FMS) by providing surplus military aircraft parts that assist our friendly foreign nations in peacekeeping maintain their militaries. In short, NAACS members remain an efficient and low cost alternative to the delay and high costs associated with the Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs").
