According to the original Oct. 7 execute order provided by Army officials by Army Times directing the “life, health, safety, and mold inspections” of all active duty facilities, commanders were expected to finish by Nov. 18. The inspections were unveiled a series of reports by Military.com revealed endemic mold issues impacting soldiers at Fort Stewart, Georgia, and Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
But they proved a major task, explained Paul Schaefer, a deputy director of logistics at Army Materiel Command who leads the service’s facilities investment plan.
So the Army extended the deadline to Jan. 18, Schaefer and a spokesperson confirmed.
The facilities planner said the service has updated how it records and measures building inspections, and the new data will play a critical role in helping the Army reorder its priorities for maintenance, renovation and replacement construction work. And the later deadline will still permit Schaefer and others to crunch the numbers at the annual Facilities Investment Plan wargame in late January, he said.
