Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. Air Force has frequently been deployed overseas, often on short notice, in support of crises ranging from humanitarian relief to Operation Desert Storm. To meet these challenges, the Air Force has implemented a new operational concept, that of the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF), which replaces the permanent forward presence of airpower with a force that can deploy quickly from the continental United States (CONUS) to Forward Operating Locations (FOLs) in response to a crisis, commence operations immediately on arrival, and sustain those operations as needed. In the words of Air Force Vision 2020, "We will be able to deploy ... in 48 hours, fast enough to curb many crises before they escalate." However, quickly deploying the support structure for aerospace operations is not easy: The consensus of most studies is that moving the support for a force package to an FOL with minimal infrastructure within the notional time frame of 48 hours is almost certainly infeasible given current support process organization and equipment. The equipment and people required to support a combat deployment is simply very heavy. One primary result has been a call for "footprint reduction," i.e., physically reducing the amount of materiel and personnel actually deployed to FOLs. However, for many areas such as munitions, significant mass reduction will require substantial investment in new technology and development: replacing a 2000-lb bomb with a smaller munition may require more sophisticated guidance, new explosives with more power, and other modifications such as new techniques for penetration.
Book Synopsis Supporting Air and Space Expeditionary Forces by : Ronald G. McGarvey
Download or read book Supporting Air and Space Expeditionary Forces written by Ronald G. McGarvey and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2008 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph describes the new modeling approach developed to construct the CONUS CIRF network designs and presents detailed results from the specific analyses. The analyses are based on F-15, F-16, and A-10 aircraft force structure bed-downs resulting from the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission's 2005 recommendations. For the three aircraft types, all CONUS active duty bases, Air National Guard (ANG) installations, and Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) installations possessing combat-coded or training aircraft, along with some Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) bases, were used as locations to be supported by CIRF networks. CIRF network designs were constructed for aircraft engines (TF34, F100, F110), electronic warfare (EW) pods (ALQ-131, ALQ-184), Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) navigation (AN/AAQ-13) and targeting pods (AAQ-14s), and F-15 avionics line replaceable units (LRUs). This set of commodities was chosen because previous analyses (many of which were performed at RAND) had suggested that they afforded the largest potential savings from consolidated maintenance. Tasking scenarios considered in these analyses included normal peacetime training and readiness, Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) deployment taskings, and major regional conflict (MRC) taskings.

Book excerpt: Using a case study based on the Army's new Stryker Brigade Combat Team, the authors explore how the Army might improve its ability to contribute to prompt, global power projection, that is, strategically responsive early-entry forces for time-critical events. The authors examine options to reach a dual goal: to initiate deployment of the right force capabilities, and then get those capabilities where they need to be as quickly as possible.
Book Synopsis Supporting Expeditionary Aerospace Forces by : Lionel A. Galway
Download or read book Supporting Expeditionary Aerospace Forces written by Lionel A. Galway and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2000 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report addresses support of emerging Air Force employment strategies associated with Expeditionary Aerospace Forces (EAFs). EAF concepts turn on the premise that rapidly tailorable, quickly deployable, immediately employable, and highly effective air and space force packages can serve as a credible substitute for permanent forward presence. This research shows that to implement the EAF concept the Air Force will need to develop a comprehensive system of forward support infrastructure.
Book Synopsis A Framework for Enhancing Airlift Planning and Execution Capabilities Within the Joint Expeditionary Movement System by : Robert S. Tripp
Download or read book A Framework for Enhancing Airlift Planning and Execution Capabilities Within the Joint Expeditionary Movement System written by Robert S. Tripp and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent operations have shed light on shortfalls in Air Force intratheater airlift. Using an expanded strategies-to-tasks framework, the authors assess current intratheater airlift processes, organizations, doctrine, training, and systems. This report catalogues identified shortfalls and recommends options for improving the Theater Distribution System. The authors recommend separation of supply, demand, and integrator roles and adoption of a closed-loop planning and execution process.

Book Synopsis Supporting the Future Total Force by : Kristin F. Lynch
Download or read book Supporting the Future Total Force written by Kristin F. Lynch and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Air Force faces manpower end-strength reductions of approximately 40,000 active duty personnel, it becomes more difficult to support the air and space expeditionary force (AEF) construct using current force employment practices. These manpower reductions could leave the active component without sufficient end-strength personnel authorizations to support current operational requirements. The Air National Guard (ANG), on the other hand, will not undergo significant manpower reductions, but it will be affected by the Air Force structure planning under way in support of the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) and Base Realignments and Closure (BRAC) that calls for the retirement of a significant number of legacy aircraft. This could potentially leave the ANG with a large number of highly trained, highly experienced personnel with no aircraft to operate and support.
Book Synopsis Evaluation of Options for Overseas Combat Support Basing by : Mahyar A. Amouzegar
Download or read book Evaluation of Options for Overseas Combat Support Basing written by Mahyar A. Amouzegar and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability of U.S. forces to provide swift and tailored responses to a multitude of threats across the globe is a crucial component of security in today's complex political environment. To realize its goals of global strike and persistent dominance, it is vital that the Air Force support the warfighter seamlessly and efficiently in all phases of deployment, employment, and redeployment. One of the major pillars for achieving these objectives is a global combat support basing architecture. This report presents an analytic framework and model for evaluating options for overseas combat support basing. The authors develop several sets of deployment scenarios to measure the effect of timing, location, and intensity of operational requirements on combat support and to account for the inherent uncertainties in future planning. They apply political, geographical, and vulnerability constraints to the model and present a feasible set of candidate locations for consideration by the Air Force.

Book Synopsis Strategic Analysis of Air National Guard Combat Support and Reachback Functions by : Robert S. Tripp
Download or read book Strategic Analysis of Air National Guard Combat Support and Reachback Functions written by Robert S. Tripp and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VANGUARD is the Air National Guard (ANG) long-range transformation program. It calls for the ANG to evaluate new concepts, prepare for new missions, and adopt a new culture that capitalizes on ANG strengths and ensures that the ANG continues to add value as warfighters and to warfighters in the future while remaining ready, reliable and accessible. One way to support warfighting and warfighters is to continue to support the Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF), a concept developed by the Air Force to allow quick response, when appropriate, to national security interests with a tailored, sustainable force. The ANG already plays an important role in the AEF during wartime operations. This monograph evaluates options for Air National Guard combat support and reachback missions in four Air Force mission areas to support the AEF, investigates transformational opportunities for the ANG that would add the most value in achieving the desired operational effects, and considers how changes in unit and above-unit policies are likely to affect Total Force capabilities. It should be of interest to logisticians, operators, and mobility planners throughout the Department of Defense, especially those in the Air National Guard and active Air Force.
Book Synopsis Sense and Respond Logistics by : Robert S. Tripp
Download or read book Sense and Respond Logistics written by Robert S. Tripp and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph discusses U.S. Air Force progress toward implementing sense and respond logistics or, as defined more broadly, sense and respond combat support. It describes some of the research that has been conducted on the military combat support system, focusing on improvements in prediction capability, responsiveness of supply chains, and a governing command and control system. The report identifies the elements of sense and respond combat support and shows what is necessary to use the concept within the military-specifically, the Air Force. It surveys the state of technology needed to implement the concept and identifies both the technical work that needs to be further developed and the Air Force organization most appropriate to manage the implementation. The capabilities described involve predicting what will be needed and responding quickly to anticipated or unanticipated needs. The monograph points out the need for both predictive tools and responsive systems working together. A key enabler of sense and response combat support is combat support command and control, which involves joint development of a plan in which logistics process performance and resource levels are related to desired operational effects; establishment of logistics process performance and resource-level control parameters; execution of the plan and tracking of control parameters against actual process performance and resource levels; signaling process owners when their processes lie outside control limits; and replanning logistics or operational components of the plan to mitigate the portions of the plan that are outside control limits.

Book Synopsis Anatomy of a Reform by : Richard G. Davis
Download or read book Anatomy of a Reform written by Richard G. Davis and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1991, the service has lost two-thirds of its foreign bases and one-third of its force structure and personnel. Yet the nation's strategy of selective engagement dictated that the service be ready to fight and win two nearly simultaneous major theater wars, while maintaining its commitments to a growing string of small-scale contingencies. The mismatch between resources and requirements was forcing the men and women of the U.S. Air Force (USAF) into a lifestyle characterized by high personnel tempo at the expense of family life. Drops in retention rates and recruitment indicated that the situation, if allowed to go unchecked, would soon reach serious proportions. The answer was to create the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) -- a new way of doing business that improved predictability and stability in personnel assignments and furnished the service with a powerful management tool to more efficiently align its assets with the needs of the warfighting Commanders in Chief. EAF was an idea whose time had come, and on August 4, 1998, Acting Air Force Secretary, F. Whitten Peters, and Chief of Staff, General Michael E. Ryan, announced that the time for development had passed and that the USAF would now move as rapidly as possible toward full implementation. This work offers a preliminary history of the development and initial implementation of EAF from its beginnings to the roll-out of the 10 Aerospace Expeditionary Forces on October 1, 1999.
