SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. (USTCNS) ---The recently completed Chief of Staff Logistics Review is moving into the implementation phase for Air Mobility Command.
"Many of you may have heard something about the CLR and are wondering what it really is and how it will affect you," said Col. Jeffrey Ackerson, chief of the Transportation Division at AMC's Directorate of Logistics. "In essence, the CLR is an end-to-end analysis of how we conduct our logistics activities at the unit level in support of the Expeditionary Air Force."
Implementation of the CLR will refine and test key logistics concepts, processes and some organizational constructs. The core areas of the review include enlisted technical training and officer development, material management, sortie production and fleet management, and contingency planning.
Ackerson said, "The implementation of the review requires a minimum of turbulence, works within our current resources and ensures support to the EAF." AMC is participating fully at the headquarters staff and unit level in this process. Concepts of operations are under development that will drive how the studies are accomplished Air Force-wide.
Several of AMC wings will assist in developing and carrying out tests of CLR activities. Major areas of study and test locations are:
1. Material management, including the merger of supply and transportation squadrons - McGuire Air Force Base, N.J, and Fairchild AFB, Wash.
2. Sortie production and fleet management, including placing the Maintenance Aircraft Coordination Center under the wing logistics group - Pope AFB, N.C., McConnell AFB, Kan., and Travis AFB, Calif.
3. Contingency planning, including moving logistics plans under logistics - Grand Forks AFB, N.D., and Charleston AFB, S.C.
In addition to these tests, the CLR will examine revisions to Air Force logistics instructions and policies. AMC is represented on all of the Air Staff-directed action teams for each area.
Ackerson said, "We will also look at training issues for our enlisted force and the development of a dual career track for logistics officers."
Officer development will evolve to a maintenance-munitions track and a supply-transportation-logistics plans track. It will also include a "weapons school" for selected logistics officers. Finally, the CLR will include the development of pipeline metrics and methods for improving the activities of Regional Supply Squadrons.
While much of the CLR activity is still evolving, there are some specific action areas. The first area is the complete review and rewrite of Air Force Instruction 21-101, Maintenance Management of Aircraft. This AFI influences most of the processes used to generate and maintain aircraft.
All logistics functional areas will begin their own AFI revisions to capture the key changes brought by the CLR. Current timelines call for completion of work on policies and AFIs by the end of the year.
A second area of interest is material management. Combining supply and ground transportation will produce an organization with six flights; material management, deployed readiness, management and systems, travel support, vehicle management, and fuels. Although these branch names may change, the functions will remain the same.
Many of the specific details and structure require further study. Finally, the timelines for these initiatives look for testing to start in June or and continue into the spring of 2002 when the CLR initiatives are mplemented Air Force-wide.
"We are early into the CLR implementation phase and many of the concepts are evolving," said Ackerson. "We intend to keep all members of AMC informed nd updated on the CLR as it progresses."
Ackerson said, "The CLR provides the logistics community a unique opportunity to shape the future of our support to the AEF at the base level and improve how we support the mission from an AMC perspective. We are looking for widespread participation from the AMC logistics community across the command to produce the right results."
Ackerson said there is much more to come and that the functional representatives on the AMC/LG staff will provide information to the field and are available to answer any questions on CLR issues.
"We will also provide information to your wing through your logistics group commanders and their points of contact," he said.
The Air Staff Transportation Web site at http://www.il.hq.af.mil/ilt/clr/index.html is available for those interested in checking on the progress of transportation initiatives. Other CLR functional areas plan to begin Web sites soon. (FROM AIR MOBILITY COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS).
