20th Fighter Wing Task Force Absorb and Deploy “TF-A&D” Since F-16 formations require 1 FL to 1 WG ratio, maintaining FL to WG ratio is critical to meet objectives and maximize sortie utilization.

If # of WG exceeds # of FL, current FLs will overfly and further slow down WG progression and lead us into a vicious cycle.

Absorption is not the initial intake of new pilots. Absorption is to progress WG to become FL and convert “consumers to contributors.”

Solution Elements

Metrics Framework Remove non-flying conflicts by consolidating training/commitments to Fridays and Mission Generation Readiness Days.

Increase Pilot Availability Fly all WG 9 sorties/month to progress to FL on time. Implement a scheduling process with priority setting at the OG level and Sq level allocation.

New Scheduling Process Recommend 2-ship FL, at Sq CC’s discretion, to lead non-missionized events to reduce the demand on existing FLs.

Improve visibility on WG sortie count and evaluate 4-ship FLUG readiness at ~175 sorties, based on Sq CC discretion.

Focus on Upgrade Eligibility Manage new pilot intake by IP capacity Manage intake by progression capacity Evenly distribute available sorties Prioritize 12-ship UTC and WG Measure success by RAP Measure success by FL+ ratio At the beginning of FY22, 20th FW experienced a PMAI reduction of 9 aircraft that translated into a ~1800 sortie deficit as pilot manning and sortie requirements remained the same.
