The monograph shows how operational units can be reconfigured to support launch and recovery operations, with "heavy maintenance," such as phase inspections for fighter aircraft, being provided by an enterprise network of centralized repair facilities (CRFs). Components would also be supplied to operational units from CRFs that specialize in repairing these assets, thus removing most backshop resources from operational units. Our analyses address the costs and benefits of an enterprise approach configured to support the TF. After we presented our initial TF analysis results, we were asked to evaluate an enterprise option that would be used to support only active-duty and AFRC forces. This monograph also contains that analysis. ER -
