"According to current policy, only those plates that have been inspected within the previous nine months can be issued to soldiers. This meant many undamaged plates could not be issued or that plates of unknown quality might be deployed. Some 50,000 plates belonging to US Army Europe will be inspected by an 8-member Non-Destructive Test Equipment (NDTE) mobile inspection team now working at Kaiserlautern before being shipped to central issuing facilities throughout Europe. There are over a million SAPI plates requiring inspection throughout the U.S. military worldwide, according to D’Aries. The AIS at Rhine Ordnance Barracks is, according to the NDTE team leader Bruce Cardell, the “first fixed site with an AIS that we have where we can actually jump the mobile team right into the inspection process.”"
