The introduction of MV-22Bs and F-35Bs to the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) increases the aviation logistics footprint aboard ship and limits operational employment options by decreasing sortie generation rates and encroaching on the space available to conduct operational missions. Simply decreasing the number of aircraft assigned to the MEU will only serve to decrease sortie generation capability for the sake of space. Modifications to the ACE embarkation plans, aircraft support equipment, and aircraft maintenance capabilities aboard the LPD-17 class ship are required to increase sustainability for aviation assets during shipboard operations.
