Quantifying the Impact of Maintenance Manpower on H-60 Helicopter Readiness in the Army National Guard: WEAI Defense Session Personnel Factors and Readiness WEAI June 2020

Abstract

Part of a broad effort by the Army National Guard (ARNG) to increase understanding of the relationship between investments in Full-Time Support (FTS) personnel and the ability to perform the ARNG mission, this study investigates the relationship between FTS personnel and aviation readiness. Specifically, we estimate how changes in the number of Military Technician (MilTech)aviation mechanics at Army Aviation Support Facilities (AASFs) servicing ARNG helicopters impact the length of time that aircraft are unavailable for flight operations due to having at least one open fault, while holding other factors constant.
