CSAF Logistics Review Focused Improvement for EAF Readiness

In the Spring of CY01, the Air Force Chief of Staff approved several initiatives under the CSAF Logistics Review (CLR) to improve logistics processes. The goal of the CLR is to improve the combat readiness and capability of the EAF by making logistics processes smarter, more efficient, and more effective. With this direction, MAJCOMs identified improvement opportunities in the areas of wing-level distribution, aircraft fleet health, contingency planning, and officer/SNCO development. The initiatives included consolidating base distribution processes under a single squadron; making the Logistics Group commander responsible for long-term fleet health through the realignment of monitoring/management agencies; integrating all logistics contingency planning and deployment processes; and developing initiatives to better train officers and SNCOs. The key question is whether or not the changes driven by the CLR are improving EAF readiness and capability and whether the desired effects are being achieved? To answer these questions concerning the CLR, a critical analysis was conducted by reviewing the background, proposed changes, and MAJCOM monthly progress reports. Arguably, the most controversial issue surrounding the CLR is the proper alignment of sortie production and fleet health functions or the most efficient organization for aircraft maintenance.
