Proposal Statement
All Air National Guard Wings assigned to Mobility Assigned Forces (MAF) should be manned for their full complement of assigned aircraft, commonly referred to as Planned Aircraft Assignment (PAA).
Recommendation Information
Under Air Force Instruction (AFI) 10 402 and related mobilization policy, all Air National Guard (ANG) wings assigned to Mobility Assigned Forces (MAF) must be manned to their full assigned aircraft complement when mobilized for federal service static.e-publishing.af.mil. This requirement ensures that the wing can perform its mission without gaps in aircraft availability, which is critical for air mobility operations.
What “PAA” Means
- PAA stands for Planned Aircraft Assignment — the official Air Force designation for the full complement of aircraft a unit is authorized to operate under its mission and equipment plan.
- For MAF wings, this means the unit must have all aircraft in its PAA available and operational when activated, regardless of whether they are in the unit’s home station or deployed.
Why It Matters for MAF Wings
MAF wings are part of the Air Mobility Command (AMC) structure and are tasked with providing airlift, air refueling, and mobility support to global operations GlobalSecurity.org. These missions require:
- Full aircraft availability to meet rapid deployment and sustainment demands.
- Operational readiness to integrate into expeditionary operations without delays caused by missing aircraft.
- Compliance with DoDD 1235.10 and AFPD 10 4 mobilization planning rules, which mandate that activated units be equipped and manned to their PAA static.e-publishing.af.mil.
Implementation
- Mobilization orders for ANG wings in MAF must specify that the unit will be manned to PAA.
- Personnel and equipment must be issued in accordance with the wing’s PAA, including all necessary aircrew, maintenance, and support staff.
- Training and readiness must be maintained to ensure the wing can deploy and operate its full complement without additional mobilization.
