The book delves into the Aircraft Sustainability Model (ASM) to optimize the number and mix of spares for mobility readiness spares packages (MRSPs) used by Air Force logisticians. It analyzes MRSP support during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, focusing on the effectiveness of MRSPs for specific aircraft like the E-3B, F-16C, and HC-130P. Key performance measures, including fill rate and mission capable spares rate, are assessed to provide insights into MRSP operational effectiveness and supply chain metrics during the conflict.
