1) FY01 Flying Hour Consumption Changes (FY 2001 Base $450,632) .............
$72,703
The FY 2001 Flying Hour Program was repriced to reflect the CY 2000 AF Cost
Analysis Improvement Group approved cost factors, which are based on the most
current consumption data available. Included in this reprice are AVPOL, Depot
Level Reparables (DLRs), and consumable supplies purchased through the
General Support Division of the AF Working Capital Fund and by IMPAC card.
The most significant changes have occurred in the costs of General Support
supplies and DLRs. Included in these changes is a reduction due to a realignment
of some supplies from the Flying Hour program to general supplies within this
Sub-Activity Group. Changes by program are: Aggressor Squadron ($1,451),
CAF training ($71,252).

updated assessment of actual workyear costs to reflect the impact of changes such
as FY 2000 locality pay. Included in this change is a reduction of 20 endstrengths
primarily due to a management headquarters restructure. Changes by program
are: Air Warfare Center ($-192), CAF Training ($-5,476), CAF Exercises ($28),
Readiness Training - O&M ($-107).

Detail by Subactivity Group: Air Operations Training
Operations in Southwest Asia (SWA), including Operation Northern Watch,
Operation Southern Watch and Operation Desert Spring, have been ongoing for 10
years. With only a few notable exceptions, the force structure and operations tempo
in SWA are fairly stable. Because these operations will continue into the foreseeable
future, funding for SWA was transferred from the Overseas Contingency Operation
Transfer Fund to the services' baseline effective FY02. Henceforth, services will
plan, program and budget for these operations as they do for other baseline programs.
The funding transfer resulted in a budget increase in all Subactivity Groups that
support SWA.
b) Transfers Out ........................................................................................................................
$-3,816
i) Air Force Operations Resource Management System (AFORMS).................................
AFORMS is the automated system which tracks mandated aircrew training and
individual aircrew flying hours. Functional responsibility for collecting and
managing this information resides with the flight training activities. This transfer
aligns the financial resources with functional responsibility providing better
management and oversight of program requirements. Transfer to the Flight Training
Subactivity Group.
$-2,920
ii) Competition and Privatization .........................................................................................
This transfer results from a change in approach to competitive sourcing and the
cancellation of A-76 studies for programs such as Precision Measurement Equipment
Laboratory (PMEL) and corrosion control. Transfer to the Military Personnel
appropriation.

spares and consumables that reflect an aging fleet. Included in this reprice are
AVPOL, Depot Level Reparables (DLRs), and consumable supplies purchased
through the General Support Division of the AF Working Capital Fund and by
IMPAC card. The most significant changes have occurred in the costs of DLRs and
General Support supplies. There are also flying hour changes in the Aggressor (177)
and the CAF Training (-495) programs. Changes by program are: Aggressors
($3,145), CAF Training ($181,957).
