This paper presents an aircraft weapon system spares support model for determining the number of days of contingency operations which are supportable. Contingency spares support is of paramount concern to Air Force readiness. The translation of current or predicted inventory positions into meaningful measures of military capability is crucial to both operational and logistics planning. Currently the Air Force has no management information system which can accurately assess spares support for...

This paper examines the management of spares acquisition and logistics support activities for the Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) engine. A SIMSCRIPT II.5 simulation model of the ALCM system is developed and the probable ranges of five relevant factors (transportation time, maintenance duration, engine failure rate, test duration and test loss rate) are determined. The model is manipulated using a factorial design with the five factors at the extremes of their ranges. An ANOVA is used to...

The MTVR is being fielded by the Marine Corps as a replacement of its aging fleet of five-ton cargo trucks. The MTVR program includes the Marine Corps' first use of Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for a large tactical ground transportation vehicle. MTVRs were employed during the buildup, major combat, and initial occupation phases of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). This MBA project examines the role of CLS in the supply and maintenance support of the MTVR during the aforementioned phases of...

An AFS supplements the FILL (Fleet Issue Load LIST) quantity for established FILL items by calculating POS (Peacetime Operating Stock) levels which are based on historical resupply demand on the AFS. For new FILL items (FILL ADDs), however, the AFS has no recorded historical resupply demand and thus, no basis for computing POS levels. POS levels for the FILL ADDs can not be built by the AFS until after the new items are placed in the FILL and the AFS begins receiving resupply demand from the...

The ability to reconstitute combat power quickly and effectively will be especially critical on the modern battlefield with its proliferation of extremely lethal weapons systems. Early battles, particularly in a short or no-warning scenario, may be won or lost depending on the commander's ability to reconstitute his combat power. Given such a scenario and shortfalls in sealift, airlift, and theater active force structure--particularly combat service support units--commanders may have to fight...
