Let's hear it for the Marine Corps Logistics Base (MCLB) in Albany, Georgia.

From The Albany Herald:

U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss visited the military base nearest his Moultrie home Monday, seeing first-hand the Albany maintenance center where Marine Corps protective vehicles are made and upgraded.

Chambliss remarked that during five visits to Iraq, he has been continually approached by Marines who convey their appreciation for the equipment made in Albany that protects them from improvised explosive devices.

“I don’t go into theater without some Marine coming up to me and letting me know that when I get to Georgia, to be sure and tell the folks at MCLB how much they appreciate them and how many lives they’ve saved,” he said.

MCA [Maintenance Center Albany] makes and installs the mine roller devices that roll in front of MTVRs [Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacements] to detonate IEDs before the armored Marine Corps vehicles drive over them.
