An Analysis of Simulated USAF Facility Contingency Requirements in the NATO Theatre.
Abstract
In contingency situations of short duration (180 days or less), USAF facility requirements for operations are normally met with organic resources and Bare Base provisioning. When conflicts escalate into sustained operations (greater than 180 days), USAF must satisfy its facility requirements through other channels. Two sources of support are the Army Functional Component System (AFCS) and the Navy Advanced Base Functional Component System (ABFCS). Use of either the AFCS or the ABFCS requires USAF to identify required facility support. Identification is accomplished via a base development plan. This research uses a simulated base development plan for a NATO base to evaluate the capability of the AFCS and ABFCS to satisfy USAF facility requirements. The assets of both systems are manually searched for facility support. Since the Army has primary construction support for USAF requirements overseas per DOD Directive 1315.6, the AFCS is further researched through a simulated requisition for logistical information of facility delivery to a NATO base. Analysis of the ABFCS and AFCS organization, the search process, and the simulated requisition exercise are discussed with emphasis on the capability of the AFCS and ABFCS to support USAF facility requirements.
