Direct Support Maintenance Structures for Army Missile Systems.

Abstract

Current Army policies and doctrine for maintenance support of missile systems are examined. The organizational impact of DS maintenance support structure on supply dispersion, responsiveness and distance to supported unit in relationship to operational availability is developed. Six alternative variations of organic and area support are examined. The writer concludes that no single DS maintenance support structure is best for all missile systems; the factors impacting on operational availability, relative economy, and Program Management Office management difficulty must be considered in the selection of DS maintenance.
