This is a much larger issue for the Air Force today, having effectively been at war for 20 years, with its aircraft becoming increasingly more expensive to operate and maintain and with military budgets certain to further decrease. The enormously complex Air Force weapon system sustainment enterprise is currently constrained on many sides by laws, policies, regulations and procedures, relationships, and organizational issues emanating from Congress, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Air Force itself. Against the back-drop of these stark realities, the Air Force requested the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academies, under the auspices of the Air Force Studies Board to conduct an in-depth assessment of current and future Air Force weapon system sustainment initiatives and recommended future courses of action for consideration by the Air Force. 606 $aAirplanes, Military$xMaintenance and repair 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAirplanes, Military$xMaintenance and repair. 676 $a358.4183 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Examination of the U.S. Air Force's Aircraft Sustainment Needs in the Future and Its Strategy to Meet Those Needs. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bAir Force Studies Board. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bDivision on Engineering and Physical Sciences. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457233303321 996 $aExamination of the U.S. Air Force's aircraft sustainment needs in the future and its strategy to meet those needs$92234851 997 $aUNINA
