A Modeling Framework for Optimizing F-35A Strategic Basing Decisions to Meet Training Requirements

Abstract

Domestic basing decisions can have significant implications for the U.S. Air Force (USAF) in terms of the costs and risks associated with meeting mission requirements. Strategic basing is an important and timely topic given the large number of pending basing decisions for the F-35A, which will soon enter full-rate production and eventually constitute a significant portion of the future USAF fighter force structure. This work extends recent RAND Project AIR FORCE (PAF) analyses that have addressed different aspects of the Air Force Strategic Basing Process.
