| 摘要： | The Jet Engine Intermediate Maintenance (JEIM) shop traditionally has been located with the fighter unit it supports. Expeditionary requirements for quick deployment have led the U.S. Air Force to consider whether intermediate maintenance ought to be centralized. Besides expeditionary operations, current factors favoring centralization are the increasing technical complexity of engines, potential gains from economies of scale, and changes in experience levels of technicians. On the other hand, the issue of control over maintenance assets and the potential of having advanced engines subject to technical repair orders that require immediate attention favor the current decentralized maintenance structure. In operations against Serbia in 1999, logisticians established centralized engine repair facilities at European bases to support forces deploying to new operating locations or those with limited facilities. This experience and the emerging support requirements of the Expeditionary Aerospace Force led the Air Combat Command and the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Installations and Logistics to ask RAND for analysis of centralized and decentralized JEIM options for expeditionary support. |
