Fly, Fight and Win: Comprehensive parts and
logistics information for the U.S. Air Force Supply Chain
The logistics mission of the Air Force is straightforward: get the
force to the fight, keep the force in the fight, and prepare the force
for the next fight, in the air and in cyberspace. Modern war fighting
requires the U.S. Air Force to rapidly deploy, sustain and redeploy
personnel, equipment, and supplies in the right quantities and at the
right place and time. Today, every member of the Air Force supply
chain faces the challenge of effective planning and must employ
methods to speed up the logistics flow while reducing costs.
Whether you are purchasing aircraft spares, satisfying weapons system, facility and
materiel resource requirements, or preparing logistics deployment bids and forecasts,
completing your task depends on current, accurate technical and supplier information.
