Reducing AWACS PERSTEMPO: A Conceptual Approach
Abstract
The study seeks to gain a Combat Air Force (CAF) wide solution to reduce AWACS PERSTEMPO to a level commensurate with the AEF construct, The literature review will focus on the Air Expeditionary Force concept Initially, we will explore the AEF Program Action Directive (PAD) to discern Low Density/High Demand capabilities as forwarded by the service, We will then investigate the Joint tasking process and seek a congruent tasking level between the service AEF goal of 90 days in 15 months and the Blackhawk shoot down mandate of 120 days, We will then take a historic view of E-3 PERSTEMPO rates in the 1990s and the success or failure of the joint tasking process to meet the 120 day goal, We will also look at excessive PERSTEMPO rates as a contributor to the Blackhawk shoot down, the shoot down findings, and the success or failure of the Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF) mandate to lower AWACS PERSTEMPO, The goal is to determine a proper methodology for tasking the E-3 fleet to meet CINC needs while meeting the service and joint PERSTEMPO goals,
