Statistically, flying military aircraft is a dangerous business. The U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) adopted several programs in the 1990s to reduce aviation mishaps to a lower, more acceptable level. One such initiative, Squadron Assistance/Risk Assessment (SARA), was a software program tailored for squadron operations. SARA has become a valuable tool for squadron operations and safety programs, but is often mismanaged at the squadron level due to lack of training and higher than normal operational tempos. To use the USMC mandated SARA software effectively, the squadron table of organization (T/O) must be restructured. While many of the negative aspects of SARA are valid, it is not cause to end SARA's implementation in the Marine Corps' aviation community. The answer is to continue to request more user-friendly versions of SARA from the Boeing factory and better train operations clerks to effectively utilize SARA. Restructuring the squadron operation's T/O, as a result of additional Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) schooling, will result in a well-managed SARA program that improves the effectiveness of flight scheduling and operational risk management (ORM).
