Improving Wartime Spares Support to AMC: An Analysis of Kc-135 Readiness Spares Packages During Operation Allied Force with a Look to the Future and S

This project investigated policy for readiness spares packages (RSPs) and the level of customer service existing aircraft spares provided to the air refueling fleet during Operation ALLIED FORCE. Then, assuming ALLIED FORCE as representative of future Aerospace Expeditionary Force (AEF) deployments, the project investigated how current wartime spares policies and computations could support future tanker operations. Part 2's discussion builds an understanding of the functions and costs of inventory.
