In the current Air Force support system for F-15 avionics, each base with F-15 aircraft has an avionics intermediate-maintenance shop (AIS) for repairing avionics line-replaceable units (LRUs), or components that are removed and replaced by flight line mechanics. Under present policy, the AIS is deployed with aircraft from home bases to forward operating locations (FOLs) in what we refer to as a decentralized-deployment support option. This system places a heavy deployment burden on avionics personnel and requires substantial airlift for the AIS equipment. Also adversely affected are the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) goals of increasing response speed, reducing strain on personnel, and diminishing the deployment footprint, or the amount of materiel that must deploy with a force.
