TRF-KB also furnishes global submarine supplies and spare parts support, and provides maintenance and support services to allied submarines, regional maintenance customers, and other organizations as requested.
The facility's innovative and cutting-edge approach combines traditional methods with modern techniques, equipping the workforce with future-ready skills and capabilities. TRF-KB's focus on developing highly skilled and technically capable professionals is evident in the successful on-time deployment and safe operation of the submarine fleet it supports.
The Best of Georgia Award, particularly as it is based on customer votes, is a testament to TRF-KB's exceptional service and dedication. It recognizes their efforts in“Keeping Warships ... War Ready,” reflecting the ethos in one of their mottos,“Fix Submarines.” This award is not just an accolade, but also an affirmation of TRF-KB's pivotal role in national defense and community engagement.
Beyond its primary mission, TRF-KB's contributions significantly affect the local economy. It ranks as one of the top three employers in Camden County, employing more than 1,800 civilian employees and almost 300 U.S. Navy active duty personnel. Their industry-recognized Apprenticeship Program, and their targeted recruitment and retention efforts, provide invaluable career opportunities and skill development that benefit individuals and strengthen the local workforce. This comprehensive approach to service exemplifies TRF-KB's commitment to both national defense and community support.
The Best of Georgia Award is a recognition of TRF-KB's vital role in an industry where precision, skill, and reliability are of utmost importance.
