Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this documented briefing, we first explain a concept of readiness that goes beyond the common emphasis on operational readiness. We then review standards for manning the pilot, enlisted aircrew, and maintainer forces and briefly describe how these standards relate to the overall "health" of a wing. The briefing then assesses the challenges facing the 60th Air Mobility Wing (AMW) at Travis Air Force Base, California, in sustaining the force over time. We conclude by summarizing the wing's overall ability to sustain its readiness.

This briefing focuses on the nature of those challenges in an air mobility wing at Travis Air Force Base, California. It conclude that maintainers and aircrews alike have in fact been subjected to myraid pressures, many of them conflicting, and that these pressures have adversely overall productivity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ongoing allegations of problems with readiness in the current environment of constrained resources and demanding contingency requirements have driven efforts to characterize the effect of this environment of representative operational unit and to capture the features in a readiness management system. A broad recipe for assessing readiness involves defining what is healthy, evaluating the current and future status, and identifying where that status deviates from a healthy state. Results indicate that the fighter wing faces a mismatch between the tasks it must accomplish and the resources at its disposal. Withour the proper standards and the right metrics for tracking how units can meet those standards, senior management will be unable to identify and assess shortfalls in readiness throughout the force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout most of American history, U.S. military forces proved unready for the wars that were thrust upon them and suffered costly reverses in early battles. During the Cold War, for the first time, U.S. defense policy tried to maintain high readiness in peacetime. But now, with the Cold War over and defense budgets falling, what will happen to U.S. military forces? Will they revert to a state of unpreparedness or find a new balance? Politicians and military planners alike have found this crucial issue especially difficult to deal with because they have often misunderstood what readiness really means. In this book, security expert Richard Betts surveys problems in developing and measuring combat readiness before, during, and after the Cold War. He analyzes why attempts to maximize it often have counterproductive effects, and how confusions in technical concepts cause political controversy. The book explores conflicts between two objectives that are both vital but work against each other because they compete for resources: operational readiness to fight immediately, and structural readiness—the number of organized units that increase military power, but require time during a crisis to gear up for combat. Betts also discusses the problem brought on by the Cold War and plunging defense budgets: mobilization readiness—the plans and arrangements needed to shorten the time for recreating a large military if it once again becomes necessary. Betts offers new ideas for understanding the dilemmas and tradeoffs that underlie debates on how readiness should be maintained in peacetime, and he explores the strategic consequences of different choices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of developing a high-level, overarching system for managing the military readiness of the United States Air Force (USAF), Project AIR FORCE's Resource Management Program has undertaken an in-depth review of readiness problems in an active component operational fighter wing. The broad context stems from ongoing allegations of problems with readiness in the current environment of constrained resources and demanding contingency requirements. Our aim is to characterize the effects of this environment on a representative operational unit and to capture the generalizable features in a readiness management system designed for senior decisionmakers. At the time of writing, we were in the process of developing an architecture for an encompassing USAF readiness management system. At the generous invitation of its commanding officer, Col Mike Hostage, we focused on the 388th Fighter Wing (FW) at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. When we collected our data, the 388th was operating a primary mission authorized inventory (PMAI) of 54 F-l6 Block 40 jets in three squadrons: the 4th, the 34th, and the 421st. These aircraft are equipped with Low-Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared-Night (LANTIRN) systems that render them among the most lethal ground attack systems in the world; the aircraft also have powerful air-to-air capability. As such, they are in high demand for contingency operations. The 388th Maintenance Squadron (MXS) provides intermediate-level maintenance support. Behind the flying and maintenance squadrons are a range of supporting squadrons and groups, as well as the wing command.
