In recent years, the United States Air Force has found it necessary to perform a number of overseas deployments, many on short notice, in support of a wide range of crises. Toward this goal, the Air Force has begun to reorganize itself into an Expeditionary Aerospace Force that can quickly deploy from the continental United States to appropriate forward operating locations worldwide. This report evaluates the manner in which Jet Engine Intermediate Maintenance (JEIM) shops can best be configured to facilitate such deployments. The authors examine a number of JEIM support options, which are dis

RAND was asked by the U.S. Air Force to carry out analyses needed to determine alternatives for the use of CONUS Centralized Intermediate Repair Facilities (CIRFs) that would provide increased maintenance efficiency (compared with traditional, decentralized structures) without reducing combat support capability. These CIRFs would provide off-equipment repair of propulsion and avionics components for the F-15, F-16, and A/OA-10. RAND developed an optimization-based analytic method for CIRF network design that identifies a range of cost-effective alternatives. Aircraft force structure bed-downs
