Candid Voices - Agile Combat Support From the OC-ALC Engine Shop Viewpoint. Volume XXII, Number 4

Abstract

Force drawdowns, lean logistics processes, base realignment and closures, Agile Combat Support-these are just a few of the recent initiatives focused on posturing the military for the 2l% Century. This article takes a look at some of the effects of these and other Air Force logistics initiatives on engine repair processes taking place on the depot's shop floor. This article will take the Agile Combat Support initiative -the focus of combat support shifts from maintaining massive inventories to establishing a response capability-as the goal and will focus on the changes happening/required on the engine shop floor at Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC) to make that concept a reality.
