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 Synopsis Supporting Expeditionary Aerospace Forces by : Patrick Mills
Download or read book Supporting Expeditionary Aerospace Forces written by Patrick Mills and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2001 with total page 62 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: United Nations Special Operations Command sent an elite Expeditionary Force of soldiers and pilots out on a simple recon mission, and somehow along the way they sparked an alien civil war. Now the not-at-all-Merry Band of Pirates is in desperate trouble, again. Their stolen alien starship is falling apart, thousands of lightyears from home. The ancient alien AI they nicknamed 'Skippy' is apparently dead, and even if they can by some miracle revive him, he might never be the same.
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.

Unless they get killed first..." -- Page [4] of cover.
Book Synopsis A Common Operating Picture for Air Force Materiel Sustainment by : Raymond Pyles
Download or read book A Common Operating Picture for Air Force Materiel Sustainment written by Raymond Pyles and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2008 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The United States Air Force materiel sustainment system (MSS) is continually caught between two countervailing pressures: demands for increased efficiency and lower costs on one side versus demands for increasingly effective support to combat operations and peacetime training on the other. Furthermore, the demands on the MSS are unpredictable and change rapidly. The authors contend that implementation of a common operating picture (COP) would make the Air Force MSS both more efficient and more flexible and responsive to changing needs. They describe such a COP, developed around four principles: effects-based measures, which enable the creation of diagnostic measures to monitor system performance; schwerpunkt, a German concept that emphasizes the importance of a shared frame of reference for accomplishing organizational objectives; decision-rights theory, which provides a framework for decentralizing decisionmaking; and a nonmarket economic framework in which Air Force Headquarters and the Global Logistics Supply Center would mediate between the supply and demand sides of the MSS. The authors discuss how this COP might be applied to depot-level reparable component sustainment, using that specific example to illustrate how the COP could improve the overall MSS." -- publisher's website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space assets are vital to the economic, social, and military interests of the United States, but these interests can conflict with one another, especially when it comes to space system sustainment. The authors worked with Air Force Space Command to develop a sustainment philosophy based on separation of demand, supply, and integrator processes and clear definition of responsibilities, using specific systems and units for illustration.

Book Synopsis Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations by : National Research Council
Download or read book Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the United States Army is to fight and win our nation's wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders. Accomplishing this mission rests on the ability of the Army to equip and move its forces to the battle and sustain them while they are engaged. Logistics provides the backbone for Army combat operations. Without fuel, ammunition, rations, and other supplies, the Army would grind to a halt. The U.S. military must be prepared to fight anywhere on the globe and, in an era of coalition warfare, to logistically support its allies. While aircraft can move large amounts of supplies, the vast majority must be carried on ocean going vessels and unloaded at ports that may be at a great distance from the battlefield. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, the costs of convoying vast quantities of supplies is tallied not only in economic terms but also in terms of lives lost in the movement of the materiel. As the ability of potential enemies to interdict movement to the battlefield and interdict movements in the battlespace increases, the challenge of logistics grows even larger. No matter how the nature of battle develops, logistics will remain a key factor. Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations explores Army logistics in a global, complex environment that includes the increasing use of antiaccess and area-denial tactics and technologies by potential adversaries. This report describes new technologies and systems that would reduce the demand for logistics and meet the demand at the point of need, make maintenance more efficient, improve inter- and intratheater mobility, and improve near-real-time, in-transit visibility. Force Multiplying Technologies also explores options for the Army to operate with the other services and improve its support of Special Operations Forces. This report provides a logistics-centric research and development investment strategy and illustrative examples of how improved logistics could look in the future.

At least, this time, the Earth is safe, right?Not so much.
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.
