        Middle East used the new inspection workcards. These Workcards include the
        daily maintenance flight operations requirements (i.e., preflight, BPO
        thru-flight, etc.) for contingency/combat situations. Workcards greatly
   I)  reduced maintenance manpower requirements and increased aircraft
        availability while ensuring aircraft air worthiness. Additionally, RSAF
        Saudi P-15 units used the new inspection requirements.

        (3) Action Required: Affair complete rewrite of combat/ contingency
        Workcards to include illustrations and MIL-STD format. Workcards will
        require reevaluation prior to release. Estimated completion date is July
        1991. Recommend the combat/contingency inspections be used for ORI/ORE
        evaluation and training.

        5. WR -ALC/LJ Comments:

           a. HQ AP[C/BS Taskings

       (1) Background: Tasking received from HQ AFLC/BS here
       occasionally irrelevant. For example, two "tasking: a request for analysis
        of our 9BU backorders by age category and a request for actions taken to
        reduce 9BU backorders were unnecessary and, from our viewpoint, served no
        useful purpose. Each directorate was working in a wartime mode, placing
       full emphasis on responding to our customer needs, foremost of which was
        supplying 9BU requisitions. No further prompting was warranted. Visibility
        of each weapon system mission capable rate was, by far, a better measure of
        our effectiveness and did not require hours of work to accomplish.

       (2) Action Required: Review "tasking imposed on each ALC to ensure
       each one is relevant and necessary.

         b. HQ AFLC Response to Surge Efforts

(1) Background: OPLAN 70 was never implemented. Strategic Airlift
       Mission began upon notification of troop movement. It was necessary to
       immediately begin surge of parts necessary to fill WRSK/BLSS boles and
       MICAPs. Considerable delay was experienced in getting the necessary
       response from other ARCS and directorates to support our weapon system which
       was already flying AL wartime rates. Several weeks went by before HQ AFLC
       provided instructions to all areas to respond to our surge requests.

       (2) Action Required: OPLAN 70 should have been in lamented, at
       least for Strategic Airlift aircraft. If for some reason implementation was
       not possible, authorization to begin surge activities should have been
       provided in a more timely manner.

          c. Analysis Tools

              (1) The WSMIS system is a slave to the timeliness and accuracy of .
         the systems it extracts information from to fill its database requirements      
       (D165, D035, etc.) For general analysis use of historical data, WSMIS
       served us very well, especially during the surge item identification

.
     .                                                                      ..
