The facility's commander, Maj. Gen. George W.

Better late than never - but one hopes there are a few efficiency reports and counseling statements that will fill their own little niche of "outstanding repair orders" and if any medals are awarded for this sudden burst of efficiency, they don't go to someone who fixed a problem of their own creation. Unless, of course, it is metaphorically equivalent to this case...
