Fuels Branch Reorganization: A Study of the Fuels Officer and the Fuels Organization.

Abstract

This study attempted to determine the effect of consolidating the fuels officer and supply officer AFCS. Further, it tested the possible effects of changing the existing organization to give the base fuels officer more control over factors that currently fall outside of his/her jurisdiction. To gather information, a written survey was sent to Air Force supply officers who were either serving in fuels positions or who had at least one year of fuels experience. The data was analyzed using two nonparametric tests, the Sign Test and the Krustal-Walis Test. The results of these tests indicated that fuels operations have become less efficient since the AFSC consolidation, and the technical skills required of fuels oficers warrant a unique AFSC. The results also indicated the fuels operation could become more efficient if first, supporting agencies were assigned ot the fuels organization and second, fuels were removed from the Supply Squadron and designated as a separate organization. Keywords: Military organization.
