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.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph describes a series of analyses performed for the United States Air Force. These analyses focused on designing a set of networks of Centralized Intermediate Repair Facilities (CIRFs) that would provide centralized off-equipment repair of major aircraft components in the continental United States (CONUS). The premise for the investigation was that well-designed CONUS CIRF networks could provide maintenance support more efficiently and effectively than traditionally used procedures, which generally rely on decentralized, maintenance facilities. Although the USAF has experience with operating CIRFs in both the CONUS and overseas, Air Force leadership did not have an analytic method for designing cost-effective CIRF networks or readily comparing alternative potential network designs. 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.

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 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 A Repair Network Concept for Air Force Maintenance by : Robert S. Tripp
Download or read book A Repair Network Concept for Air Force Maintenance written by Robert S. Tripp and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2010 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 15 years, the U.S. Air Force has been continually engaged in deployed operations in Southwest Asia and in other locations. Recent Office of the Secretary of Defense planning guidance directs the services to plan for high levels of engagement and deployed operations, although their nature, locations, durations, and intensity may be unknown. Recognizing that this new guidance might impose different demands on the logistics system, senior Air Force logistics leaders asked RAND Project AIR FORCE to undertake a logistics enterprise analysis. This analysis aims to identify and rethink the basic issues and premises on which the Air Force plans, organizes, and operates its logistics enterprise. This monograph synthesizes the results of the initial phases of the logistics enterprise study. It describes an analysis of repair network options to support three series of aircraft: C-130, KC-135, and F-16. It assesses the effect of consolidating certain scheduled maintenance tasks and off-equipment component repair at centralized repair facilities. It also discusses an initial assessment of maintenance concepts that integrate wing-level and depot-level maintenance processes. Consolidated wing-level scheduled inspections and component back-shop maintenance capabilities would be more effective and efficient than the current system, in which every wing has significant maintenance capabilities to accomplish these activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VANGUARD, the Air National Guard's (ANG's) long-range transformation program (released in December 2002), 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. 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. Here, RAND looks at expanding that role both in peacetime and during operations. This monograph focuses on operational effects, such as the ability to configure support rapidly and the ability to deploy and employ quickly, enabling the evolving AEF mission. Specifically, this analysis concentrates on options for combat support and reachback missions in four Air Force mission areas: (1) Civil engineering deployment and sustainment capabilities, (2) Continental United States (CONUS) Centralized Intermediate Repair Facilities (CIRFs), (3) The Force Structure and Cost Estimating Tool -- A Planning Extension to GUARDIAN capabilities, and (4) Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) reachback missions. More specifically, this project evaluates how fundamentally different policies, at the unit level and above the unit level, are likely to affect Total Force capabilities in meeting the needs of the AEF mission. Through VANGUARD, the ANG has recognized the need to undertake a fundamental reexamination of its structure to ensure that it continues to play a leading role in meeting the AEF mission. After evaluating each of the four Air Force mission areas, the report investigates transformational opportunities for the ANG that would add the most value in achieving the desired operational effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years to come, the effectiveness of the Expeditionary Aerospace Force will pivot largely on the support system that underlies it, termed the Agile Combat Support (ACS) system. One key component of the ACS system is the electronic countermeasure (ECM) pod system. Accordingly, this documented briefing outlines the findings of a study that assessed the utility of the Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability of Pods (RAMPOD) database as an analytical tool in support of the ECM pod system. The study found that RAMPOD has significant potential for supporting ECM pod analysis, particularly in the tracking and displaying of trends for pod removal, repair times, and in-shop queue. The study also found a significant number of missing data elements that could adversely affect the efficacy of the RAMPOD system. In addition, the RAMPOD data warehouse was found to contain data that couldn't be readily accessed through the current web-based tool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines alternative Low Altitude Navigation Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) intermediate maintenance operations and explores the implications of support equipment investments in conjunction with various logistics concepts. This study builds on a series of RAND research projects on the evolving ACS system and considers the implications of decisions based on capabilities rather than costs. We address recurring labor and transportation costs; in- vestment costs associated with the options assessed were not avail- able at the time of this study. The LANTIRN system consists of two pods (navigation and targeting) employed by F-16s and F-15Es. The alternative support structure options range from the current decentralized practice of deploying intermediate maintenance with the fighting units to a network of consolidated support locations (or even a single location). Support equipment upgrades, policies, and capabilities combine with these structure options to form a rich array of possibilities from which the Air Force can choose the best ACS system to meet uncertain scenarios. Our goal is to highlight the key issues affecting these alternatives and to illustrate some of the tradeoffs the Air Force faces in making these decisions.
