Effect of Current Rated Personnel Management Policies on the Combat Capability of the F-15 Aircraft.

Abstract

The F-15 weapon system is comprised not only of hardware but also has a critical human component. This study examines the historical significance of flying experience in World War II, Korea and Vietnam and relates these findings to the current experience levels in our operational F-15 squadrons. The present rated personnel management process is examined relative to growing technological advancements in the aircraft. As the development of the F-15 aircraft has grown at an enormous rate, there may be developing an equipment-training gap between aircraft and pilot. This study evaluates the gap and recommends a series of personnel management actions specifically-increases in F-15 flight training hours- to improve the capability of the F-15 pilot in his already improved F-15 aircraft.
