Furthermore, reconstitution is highlighting a greater recognition for increased maintenance on our aging fleet of aircraft. We are working hard to resource and train additional people to ease the burden on our maintainers. It is allowing us to replenish our resources and provide some much needed recovery time for our people. The EAF construct has provided a solid roadmap for us to build our reconstitution plan. Many of our people continue to work long hours due to training backlogs.
Many spare parts have yet to make it through the pipeline.
However, we are slowly seeing signs of improvement. As we see these positive signs, it is important to remember that reconstitution is only a means to the end. It provides a roadmap to prepare our forces and allow us to respond when our nation calls.
