These realities and the implementation of newer aircraft owning advanced technologies and maintaining our existing aircraft present an opportunity to evaluate our current MALS organization. Currently, USMC aircraft are maintained with a three-level maintenance concept. As new aircraft with increased capabilities and reliability enter service and computer technology becomes further integrated with maintenance procedures Marine Aviation is left with little choice but to consider changing its 20th century philosophy of maintaining aircraft which support new technologies in a 2lth century environment. The MV-22 Osprey and Joint Strike Fighter are the focal point for defining how future maintenance should be done and who will perform the required maintenance. One of the keys to providing a better way of performing maintenance lies in the strategy of providing the right responses, the right parts, the right people, and the right skills in order to ready the aircraft for the next mission. To understand how we can better support and maintain existing aircraft and future aircraft, we must look outside our present-day organic maintenance support "box" to capitalize on more efficient and more effective ways of conducting maintenance.
