The Marine Corps Flying Hour Program.

Abstract

The objective of this thesis is to examine the structure and process of budget formulation and execution of the USMC tactical air flying hour program. It looks at how flight hour requirements are translated to budget request, how the allocated funds are managed, and examines methods of evaluating the effectiveness of the program. Data and information was collected by field visits and interviews with program managers, funds administrators, SecNav analysts, representatives of the Fiscal Division and Aviation branches at Headquarters Marine Corps, and fleet operations and fiscal managers. The basic conclusion from this study is the current program is underfunded because it is incorrectly stated. The efficiency of the program can be improved to increase the effectiveness of the program. Of the alternatives presented some are relatively minor and could provide some improvement to the current system, while others are far more radical and would result in major modifications.
