Study Notes
DAFI 21-101 Overview
- Prescribes aircraft and equipment maintenance management policies for the USAF to perform Mission Generation functions.
Organizational Structure
- AF organizations follow guidelines outlined in AFI 38-101.
- Contracted maintenance functions are not required to adhere to AFI 38-101 if organized per their approved proposal.
Maintenance Capabilities
- Organizational, intermediate, and depot maintenance are essential for operational readiness during peacetime and emergencies.
- Organizational maintenance: Launch and recover sorties, repair materials coded for organizational repairs.
- Intermediate maintenance: Repair materials for both organizational and intermediate levels.
- Depot-level maintenance: Capable of overhauling and upgrading materials across all maintenance levels.
Networks
- Organizational and intermediate-level maintenance divided into Mission Generation Network (MGN) and Repair Network (RN).
- MGN optimized for wing-level mission generation, including essential maintenance capabilities for AF systems.
- RN provides maintenance support beyond MGN's capacity.
Maintenance Processes
- MGN activities may relinquish control of reparable assets to the RN.
- Units in the MGN generally have necessary equipment for on- and off-equipment maintenance.
- RN may exist at bases where mission generation occurs.
Reporting and Coordination
- RN requirements addressed in AFI 20-117.
- Coordination for maintenance assistance requests is required through originating MAJCOM and Lead Command.
Best Practices and Training
- Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) are developed from lessons learned to enhance maintenance processes.
- Training for advanced operational maintenance management occurs at Advanced Maintenance and Munitions Operations School.
Maintenance Mission
- Focus on aircraft and equipment readiness through comprehensive maintenance actions.
- The maintenance function ensures safety, serviceability, and configuration compliance.
Preventive Maintenance
- Achieved through inspection requirements published in official technical orders, ensuring maintenance integrity and timeliness.
Assessment and Reporting
- MAJCOMs conduct assessments on unit readiness, providing valuable feedback for process improvement.
- Logistics directors report top trends and causal factors to identify and mitigate limiting factors.
Supervisor Responsibilities
- Supervisors are crucial for establishing a maintenance discipline climate and enforcing compliance with written guidance.
- All maintenance personnel are accountable for ensuring effective and timely repairs and inspections.
Maintenance Warnings
- The Air Force Technical Order (AFTO) Form 492 is used to flag conditions that may pose risks, ensuring safety in operations.
