Analysis of Air Force Logistics Enterprise: Evaluation of Global Repair Network Options for Supporting the F-16 and KC-135 (Project Air Force)

Analyses demonstrate how F-16 and KC-135 aircraft maintenance units can be reconfigured to support mission generation operations, with heavy maintenance such as aircraft phase inspections reassigned to a network of centralized repair facilities. This approach identifies options that either exceed current maintenance capabilities at current cost levels or meet required capability levels at reduced cost.
