The 'SATAF' Approach for Development.

Abstract

The purpose of this report was to examine the Site Activation/Alteration Task Force (SATAF) approach for accomplishment of the deployment phase of a major USAF weapon system. A research for all applicable directives and information pertaining to weapon system deployment was concluded and then condensed in Section II of the study. An in-depth review of the formation on the F-15 aircraft SATAF is presented. The study then focuses on the step-by-step process used by the SATAF II which prepared the first operational F-15 Tactical Figher Wing. From the data reviewed and personal testimony obtained from interviews with key persons it is concluded that the SATAF II was highly successful and that a similar type organization needs to be used for all major weapon systems deployment. This report should provide an understanding of the SATAF process and provide information for persons dealing in the deployment phase. (Author)
