Every two years, alternaing with corrosion control, IRAN affected the deployed EC-47's. IRAN for the TEWS aircraft was performed at Taichung, Taiwan, where Det 9, AFCMC, made inputs to the contractor, the Chinese Nationalist Air Force. All sensitive equipment had, of course, to be removed prior to sending the aircraft to IRAN. The Director of Material Management, Robins AFB, Georgia, directed the IRAN program by individual serial number of the aircraft, through the Director of Material at Seventh Air Force, and the contract stipulated a turn-around time of 43 days, not including the flight time to and from South Vietnam. Aircraft in IRAN were removed from the TEWS "possessed" catagory for the duration of their absence.

Corrosion control was accomplished every other year, at Kadena AB, Okinawa, under the 313th Air Division facilities ther (DMCC). Again, all sensitive equipment was removed befor ferrying. Excluding the flight time fo two days each way, corrosion control took 18 to 19 days to complete, ans also removed the aircraft from the "possessed" category for that period of time.
