GENTEXT/REMARKS/

1. THIS MESSAGE CANCELS REF A.

2. IN RESPONSE TO CH-53E READINESS CHALLENGES, REF A

WAS CHARTERED TO IDENTIFY ISSUES, GAPS, AND CONDUCT ROOT CAUSE

ANALYSIS FOR AIRCRAFT, AIRCREW, AND MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL;

RECOMMENDING THE BEST COURSES OF ACTION FOR THE CH-53E COMMUNITY TO

ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN T-2.0 UNTIL FULL OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY (FOC) OF

THE CH-53K IN 2029. MANY OF THE CH-53E READINESS ISSUES POINT TO THE

EFFECTS OF AIRCRAFT UTILIZATION SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE PRE-2001 LEVELS

IN THIRTEEN YEARS OF WAR OVERSEAS AND AN INEFFECTUAL RESET EFFORT

UPON THEIR RETURN. BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE 2015 SSIRR,

DCA IS DIRECTING THE RESET OF CH-53E AIRCRAFT IN ORDER TO IMPROVE

READINESS AND RETURN THE CH-53E FLEET TO FULL MISSION CAPABILITY.

DCA'S VISION IS TO CREATE A FORMAL AND COMPREHENSIVE AVIATION RESET

PROCESS TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE MATERIAL CONDITION OF ALL USMC

CH-53E AIRCRAFT.

3. RESET MAINTENANCE EVENTS SHALL BE CONDUCTED IAW REF D AND E.

RESET WILL CONSIST OF A COMPLETE SERVICEABILITY INSPECTION AND REPAIR

OF EACH AIRCRAFT TO INCLUDE A THOROUGH CLEANING OF THE AIRFRAME AND

DYNAMIC COMPONENTS, THE COMPLETION OF ALL PHASE CYCLES (A-D), ALL

HOURLY INSPECTIONS (25-1200), ALL CALENDAR INSPECTIONS (14-364),

CORRECTION OF AIRFRAME DISCREPANCIES, AND THE COMPLETION OF ALL

DEFERRED MAINTENANCE. RESET WILL DELIVER A FULLY MISSION CAPABLE

AIRCRAFT WITH ALL APPROVED AIRFRAMES CHANGES AND APPLICABLE

MODIFICATIONS (DEPENDING ON KIT AVAILABILITY) TO MEET BASELINE 2015

CONFIGURATION.

A. RESET WILL BE EXECUTED UTILIZING CONTRACTOR FIELD TEAMS (CFT).

PMA-261 WILL COORDINATE WITH THE CONTRACTING ACTIVITY IN PROVIDING

CONTRACT MANAGEMENT, OVERSIGHT, ON SITE QUALITY SURVEILLANCE STAFFING

AND WEEKLY PRODUCTION/FINANCIAL TRACKING AND REPORTING.

B. IN ORDER TO ENSURE A RELIABLE AND DEPLOYABLE AIRCRAFT UPON

COMPLETION OF THE RESET, ALL 2015 CH-53E BASELINE CONFIGURATION,

SAFETY, AND RELIABILITY/MAINTAINABILITY MODIFICATIONS SHOULD BE

INCORPORATED INTO THE RESET PROCESS. SHOULD THE NUMBER OF

MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED BY AN AIRCRAFT TO MEET THIS BASELINE

CONFIGURATION SIGNIFICANTLY EXCEED THE DURATION OF THE RESET EVENT OF

A PARTICULAR AIRCRAFT, THE DECISION WILL BE MADE DURING THE

PRE-INDUCTION MEETING BETWEEN THE SQUADRON, MALS, AND CNAF FOR

DETERMINATION FOR EXTENDING RESET TIME OR REDUCTION OF INCORPORATED

MODIFICATIONS.

(1) THE RESET PRE-INDUCTION MEETING WILL BE COORDINATED THROUGH THE

SITE MALS AND WILL IDENTIFY AND OUTLINE LOGISTICS REQUIREMENTS AND

ACTIONS TO BE PERFORMED DURING RESET.

(2) AIRCRAFT ENGINE PERFORMANCE SHALL BE ADDRESSED WITH A PLAN TO

ENSURE POST RESET SCHEDULED RELIABILITY UNTIL THE FIRST POST RESET

PHASE CYCLE (200 HRS).

(3) AIRCRAFT WILL BE REPORTED IN A 'G31' STATUS (OOR) FROM THE DAY

OF INDUCTION UNTIL THE DAY OF DELIVERY AS FMC/RBA.

C. THE GOAL IS TO RETURN EACH AIRCRAFT TO ITS UNIT WITHIN 260

CALENDAR DAYS (180 TOUCH DAYS) OF INDUCTION. THE SEVERITY OF THE

AIRCRAFT MATERIAL CONDITION UPON INDUCTION OR NOTED DURING THE

INSPECTION PROCESS AND THE INABILITY TO PERFORM SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL

CHECKS WITH HYDRAULIC/ELECTRIC POWER PRIOR TO INDUCTION MAY DRIVE

EXTENDED TURNAROUND TIME.

4. THE END STATE AIRCRAFT WILL HAVE ZERO OUTSTANDING AWAITING

MAINTENANCE (AWM) DISCREPANCIES, RE-BASELINED PHASE CYCLE,

RE-BASELINED HOURLY/CALENDAR/SPECIAL INSPECTIONS, FREE OF

FUEL/OIL/HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKS, ALL O-LEVEL TECHNICAL DIRECTIVES

COMPLIED WITH, HIGH TIME COMPONENTS REPLACED AND WILL BE FUNCTIONAL

CHECK FLIGHT (FCF) COMPLETE. THE CFT ALONG WITH THE SUPPORTING

MALS/ASD SHALL MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO MITIGATE THE AMOUNT OF OPEN

DISCREPANCIES THAT ARE AWAITING PARTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE IMPACTING

DELIVERY OF THE AIRCRAFT AS FMC.

5. THE CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE CH-53E RESET PROGRAM IS DEPENDENT

UPON THE MARFORS AND CNAFR PROVIDING SUFFICIENT FUNDING TO FULLY

STAFF THE RESPECTIVE FLEET BASED RESET SITES. IF THERE ARE PROJECTED

FINANCIAL SHORTFALLS OR DELAYS IN APPROPRIATIONS THE MARFORS AND

CNAFR WILL NOTIFY ALCON SO THAT APPROPRIATE CONTRACTUAL ACTIONS CAN

BE INITIATED.

6. 135 ACTIVE DUTY AND 6 RESERVE USMC CH-53E AIRCRAFT WILL BE

PROCESSED THROUGH THE RESET PROGRAM

(1) THE FOLLOWING BUNO WILL NOT BE RESET DUE TO SERVICE

LIFE RETIREMENT:
