Assessing Unit Readiness: Case Study of an Air Force Mobility Wing

Abstract

In this documented briefing, we first explain a concept of readiness that goes beyond the common emphasis on operational readiness. We then review standards for manning the pilot, enlisted aircrew, and maintainer forces and briefly describe how these standards relate to the overall "health" of a wing. The briefing then assesses the challenges facing the 60th Air Mobility Wing (AMW) at Travis Air Force Base, California, in sustaining the force over time. We conclude by summarizing the wing's overall ability to sustain its readiness.
