Ross J. Mangus is the Fleet Manager for Randolph Air Force Base, Texas and is responsible for the economic and efficient management of a 2,889 vehicle fleet valued in excess of 50 million dollars. In this capacity, he establishes policies, procedures and managerial oversight for vehicles assigned to 22 wing units. He also has supervisory responsibility for two civilian employees and ensures data input and analysis accuracy for all related vehicle issues. Mr. Mangus creates an atmosphere of partnership with customers across the base and with higher headquarters agencies. Moreover, his outstanding communication skills enable him to converse easily at any level. He is the absolute “go-to guy” for any fleet management questions or issues. Mr. Mangus’ experience was invaluable in expediting the staffing process of five new vehicle authorizations to support a new T-38 aircraft squadron at Randolph Air Force Base. All five vehicles were in place two months before the new squadron started flying missions. Mr. Mangus is a forward thinker and environmentally conscious manager. He single-handedly authored and received approval from the General Services Administration (GSA) to allow GSA vehicles leased by the Air Force to use the base’s Ethanol 85 pump. This agreement increased Randolph’s flex fuel usage by 200% and brought the base into compliance with Environmental Protection Act mandates. Mr. Mangus is the consummate professional in every sense of the word. During the past year, not only did he fulfill the responsibilities as the fleet manager in an outstanding manner, he also stepped in to fill the responsibilities of the vacant Production Controller, a grade above his own. Mr. Mangus has an Associate Degree in Logistics Management and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Management. He is married to Mika Komatsu and they have a daughter, Tatum.
