Nellis, Creech and NTTR stand ready for inspection Published Sept. 14, 2011 By 1st Lt. Laura Balch Nellis Public Affairs NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. -- Approximately 130 inspectors who are part of a Unit Compliance Inspection team are scheduled to arrive Sept. 18, 2011, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Over the course of 13 days, the members of the team will "assess areas mandated by law as well as mission areas identified by senior Air Force and MAJCOM leadership as critical or important to assess/assure the health and performance of organizations," according to Air Force Instruction 90-201, Inspector General Activities. This means that the individual inspectors will be evaluating almost all of the Installation's units to see if Nellis, Creech, and Nevada Test and Training Range Airmen are complying with their mandated directives. One reason for why the Air Force conducts these types of inspections can be found in the same AFI. "Historical data has shown that excessive periods between major inspections can result in conditions that significantly degrade effective and efficient mission accomplishment. Although optimum frequency for compliance inspections varies among MAJCOMs, an outer boundary of no more than 60 months between unit compliance inspections is required." The last time the Installation underwent a UCI was in 2006. During that inspection, the majority of units on the Installation received a rating of in compliance, the top rating. The other grading options are: in compliance with comments and not in compliance. For more information about the upcoming UCI, military members should contact their unit UCI representatives.
