A Maintenance Manpower Study of the Composite Wing at Mountain Home AFB

Abstract

In response to changes in threats, the Air Force has reorganized several flying units into composite wings. They are intended to provide a flexible, rapid deployment force. This study focused on the impact of the composite wing organizational structure on the determination of maintenance manpower authorizations at Mountain Home AFB, the Air Force's first air intervention wing. An opinion survey of maintenance and manpower experts was used to identify factors that are important in the determination of maintenance manpower authorization levels. Statistical analysis identified important-factors and indicated differences in opinion between maintenance and manpower specialists. Factors specific to the composite wing were also identified. The researchers conclude that at a minimum, three factors must be accounted for in the maintenance manpower authorization process for the composite wing at Mountain Home AFB.
