In May 2000, the Air Force initiated an assessment to test whether the force requirements derived from its manpower requirements determination process were sufficient to support the spectrum of military operations envisioned in the defense strategy: from simultaneously fighting two major theater wars to conducting multiple contingency operations in peacetime. This assessment, called the Total Force Assessment, was the Air Forces first evaluation of manpower adequacy in these contexts since 1995. Past assessments have been done on an irregular basis. In addition to assessing whether the Air Force could support the envisioned wartime and peacetime military operations, the most recent Total Force Assessment was generally expected to provide information to assist Air Force leadership in other force-management and decision-making processes. For example, the Air Force anticipated that Total Force Assessment results might be used to assess the appropriateness of its force mix, provide additional support for budgetary submissions, and provide data for day-to-day management of manpower assets.
The ability of the United States Air Force (USAF) to keep its aircraft operating at an acceptable operational tempo, in wartime and in peacetime, has been important to the Air Force since its inception. This is a much larger issue for the Air Force today, having effectively been at war for 20 years, with its aircraft becoming increasingly more expensive to operate and maintain and with military budgets certain to further decrease. The enormously complex Air Force weapon system sustainment enterprise is currently constrained on many sides by laws, policies, regulations and procedures, relationships, and organizational issues emanating from Congress, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Air Force itself. Against the back-drop of these stark realities, the Air Force requested the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academies, under the auspices of the Air Force Studies Board to conduct and in-depth assessment of current and future Air Force weapon system sustainment initiatives and recommended future courses of action for consideration by the Air Force. Examination of the U.S. Air Force's Aircraft Sustainment Needs in the Future and Its Strategy to Meet Those Needs addresses the following topics: Assess current sustainment investments, infrastructure, and processes for adequacy in sustaining aging legacy systems and their support equipment. Determine if any modifications in policy are required and, if so, identify them and make recommendations for changes in Air Force regulations, policies, and strategies to accomplish the sustainment goals of the Air Force. Determine if any modifications in technology efforts are required and, if so, identify them and make recommendations regarding the technology efforts that should be pursued because they could make positive impacts on the sustainment of the current and future systems and equipment of the Air Force. Determine if the Air Logistics Centers have the necessary resources (funding, manpower, skill sets, and technologies) and are equipped and organized to sustain legacy systems and equipment and the Air Force of tomorrow. Identify and make recommendations regarding incorporating sustainability into future aircraft designs.
The purpose of the thesis was to assess the use of constant nonavailable time estimates in the determination of Air Force manpower standards. Analysis of data from several sources revealed significant differences in the amount of time personnel in the various pay grades (military and civilian) were available for primary duty. The effect upon manpower standards caused by the use of erroneous availability estimates is simulated through the application of various estimates to a work center. The authors recommend the incorporation of availability estimates in work sampling studies.
