Sustaining the Super Stallion: The Use of Performance Based Logistics in the CH-53E Program

Abstract

A change to the status quo must occur to improve CH-53E readiness levels to meet the Joint Requirements Oversight Council's (JROC) intent. To help meet this requirement, the Marine Corps must adopt a robust Performance Based Logistics (PBL) plan covering the CH-53E's remaining time in service. The CH-53E is currently suffering from unacceptable readiness as a result of an antiquated Life Cycle Logistics Plan and poor processes. To fix this, the Marine Corps must adopt a robust PBL contract that incentivizes not only manufacturing and supply aspects, but also training and standardization of maintenance practices from the squadron to the depot.
