520 The U.S. Air Force's (USAF's) current approach to sizing
and shaping non-maintenance agile combat support (ACS)
manpower often results in a discrepancy between the supply
of ACS forces and operational demands because much of ACS
is sized and shaped to meet the requirements of home-
station installation operations, not expeditionary
operations. This report proposes a more enterprise-
oriented approach to measuring ACS manpower requirements
by synthesizing combatant commander operational plans,
Defense Planning Scenarios, functional area deployment
rules, and subject-matter expert input. Using these new
expeditionary metrics to assess the capacity of the
current ACS manpower mix to support expeditionary
operations, this report finds that there are imbalances
among its career fields relative to expeditionary demands.
To address these imbalances, it develops and assesses
several rebalanced manpower mixes and finds that the USAF
can achieve more expeditionary ACS capacity than it
currently has by realigning manpower, and it can realize
substantial savings by reducing end strength and
substituting civilian billets for military billets.
