A RAND study highlights how fragmented logistics, incompatible maintenance protocols, and restricted data access limit allied air forces’ ability to sustain shared aircraft in forward operations. Poses risks to readiness and coalition effectiveness.Learning Outcomes:
- Understand how logistical and maintenance interoperability affects air operations.
- Recognise barriers to shared sustainment across allied air forces and their operational implications for dispersed basing.
- Identify how improved coordination, policy alignment, and data-sharing can enhance multinational airpower agility and resilience.
