MILITARY READINESS. Management of Naval Aviation Training Munitions Can Be Improved

Abstract

Over the past several years senior Navy officials have testified before Congress about the effects of shortages in training resource on the readiness of aviation units. At your request, we examined one of these resources-ordnance for air-to-ground training-to assess the potential for enhancing Navy and Marine Corps tactical aviation unit readiness by improving training ordnance management. This report analyzes (1) shortages in air-to-ground training ordnance required to meet training readiness requirements, (2) factors that account for the shortages, and (3) the effect of shortages on training and tactical aviation readiness. The scope and methodology of our work are described in appendix I.
