U.S. Army soldiers assigned to 2nd SFAB conducted a planning exercise with members of the Ghana Armed Forces and other multinational partners during AL25, May 05–16, 2025, in Tamale, Ghana. U.S. Army Maj. Grant Whittington, executive officer, 5th Battalion, 2nd Security Force Assistance Brigade (2nd SFAB), examines the collaboration between 2nd SFAB and the Ghana Armed Forces during African Lion 2025 (AL25).

AL25, the largest annual military exercise in Africa, brings together over 50 nations, including seven NATO allies and 10,000 troops to conduct realistic, dynamic and collaborative training in an austere environment that intersects multiple geographic and functional combatant commands. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) on behalf of the U.S. Africa Command, AL25 takes place from April 14 to May 23, 2025, across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. This large-scale exercise will enhance our ability to work together in complex, multi-domain operations—preparing forces to deploy, fight and win. (U.S. Army Reserve video by Staff Sgt.

Marine Corps launches Barracks Digital Maintenance Request System Service-Wide
25 Jun 2024

The Marine Corps launched and has fully implemented QSRMax, which is the service’s main effort to upgrade its maintenance request system from analog to digital.

QSRMax simplifies the process for submitting maintenance requests by empowering Marines with a convenient means to submit barracks maintenance support requests directly to the USMCMax system through a QR code on their phone.

QSRMax empowers Marines to track their maintenance support requests as they progress through the system in real time. QSRMax allows users to submit maintenance requests directly to barracks and building managers, which then can be relayed to the base. This restructuring increases transparency and accountability while enhancing communication between Marines and maintenance personnel.

These maintenance requests also have strategic level visibility, which allows for holistic data analysis across the service. Here is how QSR Max works:

  1. Marine identifies a problem.

  2. Marine scans QR code on QSRMax and creates an account if one is not already established.

  3. Marine creates a facilities maintenance request within QSRMax, followed by the creation of a USMCmax service request if approved.

  4. Request is received and addressed within the QSRMax portal by the designated barracks manager.

  5. Barracks manager determines level of support needed to address the requirement and updates the request in the system.

  6. If needed, the request goes to base via work order request.

  7. Once the maintenance request is completed, the assigned agency reports it complete in the QSRMax system.

The introduction of QSRMax marks a new chapter in facilities maintenance within the Marine Corps, characterized by efficiency, transparency, and responsiveness.
