To manage manpower requirements, costs, and readiness, the USAF has adopted new maintenance AFS concepts over time. In some cases, multiple AFSs have been combined, and in other cases, the Air Force has opted to split a single AFS into two or more.

Some of this consolidation is associated with the Rivet Workforce initiative, which was phased in with a general drawdown in force structure (both aircraft and people) following the end of the Cold War.6

Currently, two unit-level maintenance experiments are underway that are particularly relevant to the F-35A and our study: the BOLT program at Hill AFB and the LIT program at Luke AFB.
It is important to note that each of these experiments has been locally formulated and implemented. They both represent important efforts to learn about the potential impacts of reformulating the way maintainers are trained and organized. Both efforts were initiated recently and were scheduled to undergo a more-formal internal evaluation during calendar year 2019. They both were formulated as responses to a desire to increase maintenance effectiveness and improve combat sortie-generation capability.
