Field Maintenance Shop #9, Army National Guard

The Brandon Facilities Maintenance Shop (FMS #9), located off I-20, Exit 54 behind the General Motors Corporation building, will support more than 1,100 pieces of military equipment from 34 units within the Mississippi National Guard, providing more than 35 full-time positions and meeting LEED Silver standards as an environmentally friendly green building according to the U.S. Green Building Council’s rating system.

The construction, comprised of two building areas, including a more than 37,000 sq. ft. vehicle maintenance shop with drive-through work bays, tool rooms, supply rooms and storage areas, is proposed to be completed by August 2024. An administration building with offices, a classroom, and community spaces will also be on-site alongside other support elements including wash bays, a controlled waste facility, and oil and fuel storage. FMS #9 will provide daily maintenance support services, ensuring equipment readiness for MSNG mobilization efforts, and natural disaster response and relief missions reaching far into the future.
