Supporting Air and Space Expeditionary Forces: Analysis of CONUS Centralized Intermediate Repair Facilities

This monograph details an analysis of the use of Centralized Intermediate Repair Facilities (CIRFs) to provide off-equipment component repair for CONUS-based fighter aircraft, supporting both training and deployment scenarios. It presents an analytic method for CIRF network design that generates a range of cost-effective alternatives. It identifies CIRF alternatives that achieve increased efficiency without reducing combat support capability.It evaluates CONUS use of Centralized Intermediate Repair Facilities for off-equipment repair of aircraft components and presents analytic network design method developed for the identification of cost-efficient alternatives for such networks.
