FAQs

What does the schedule capture for each continental-area entry?

Each entry links a Julian ROS on-site date with Maximo desktop requisition submission deadlines, PR-to-PO deadlines, and required delivery dates to Port Hueneme, plus McMurdo and South Pole calendar ROS dates where applicable.

How are airlift windows organized in FY27?

The document segments timelines into McMurdo heavy airlift periods, light wheeled airlift periods, and includes an airlift blackout period; some entries also cover extended season and winter flights.

Are all ROS dates usable for every destination?

No. Notes state that some ROS dates are open only for McMurdo materials, while others are open for McMurdo, South Pole, and deep field camp materials, and there is no available airlift between Christchurch and McMurdo for certain periods.
