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
