This documented briefing outlines research undertaken in support ofemerging Air Force employment strategies associated with ExpeditionaryAerospace Forces (EAFs). Although much work has yet to beaccomplished in defining and preparing Air Force units for meeting thesenew responsibilities, it is clear that EAF concepts will play a central role inthe future Air Force. EAF concepts turn on the premise that rapidlydeployable, immediately employable, highly effective, and flexible air andspace force packages can serve the same strategic role as a permanentforward presence in deterring aggression and, if necessary, responding toaggressive acts. The success of the EAF will to a great extent depend onthe effectiveness and efficiency of the support system that undergirdsflying operations. The Air Force has named such a support system one ofits six necessary core competencies and has labeled it the Agile CombatSupport (ACS) system.The efficiency and effectiveness of ACS are affected by decisions madeacross programming and budgeting time horizons. Far-term ACSdecisions affect future support structures required to meet operationalrequirements with future force mixes. Mid-term ACS decisions affect thedesign, development, and evolution of the support infrastructure formeeting operational requirements within the programming andbudgeting time horizons. Near-term decisions affect where, when, andhow existing resources are employed. Across this time spectrum, logisticsrequirements can be satisfied in a variety of ways, each with differentcosts, flexibility, response times, and risks.This documented briefing discusses research supporting RAND's ongoingassessment of intermediate-level support options for the electroniccountermeasure (ECM) pod system. This particular study addresses theusefulness of the Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability of Pods(RAMPOD) database as an analytical tool in support of the ECM podstudy that is part of ACS efforts.Our research shows that RAMPOD already has a great deal of usefulinformation both in the on-line database reports and recorded in the data-warehousingsystem. With some modifications to the current datapresentation format and the incorporation of warehoused data into theweb query tool, RAMPOD can become valuable both for operationalanalyses, such as process performance monitoring, and for strategicplanning activities.The research addressed in this report was conducted in the ResourceManagement Program of Project AIR FORCE as one element of a projectentitled "Evaluating Agile Combat Support Options for Implementing theExpeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF)." This project was sponsored bythe Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Installations and Logistics (AF/IL).This report should be of interest to logisticians, operators, and mobilityplanners throughout the Department of Defense, especially those in theAir Force. Research for this document was completed in July 2000.For further information, please contact the lead author, Patrick Mills, at(310) 393-0411, ext. 7983, or Patrick_Mills@rand.org.PROJECT AIR FORCEProject AIR FORCE, a division of RAND, is the Air Force FederallyFunded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) for studies andanalyses. It provides the Air Force with independent analyses of policyalternatives affecting the development, employment, combat readiness,and support of current and future aerospace forces. Research isperformed in four programs: Aerospace Force Development; Manpower,Personnel, and Training; Resource Management; and Strategy andDoctrine.
