The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of
distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the
furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the
authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that
requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J.
Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the
National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is
autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National
Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National
Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs,
encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers.
Dr. Charles M. Vest is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to
secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of
policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility
given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the
federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research,
and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to
associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of
furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with
general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating
agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in
providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering
communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of
Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively, of
the National Research Council.

Preface
The Air Force recognizes that sustainment of legacy weapon systems is a strategic issue
for the United States. To assist the Air Force in addressing this issue, the Air Force Studies Board
of the National Research Council drafted terms of reference (TOR) in April 2012 for a short
workshop to bring together Department of Defense organizations and industry to highlight
current sustainment practices that the Air Force might leverage to reduce maintenance and
sustainment costs in the near term. The National Research Council approved the TOR in July
2012. The 3-day workshop was then held on December 4-6, 2012, at the National Academy of
Sciences Building in Washington, D.C. 1
The committee is grateful for the support of the Air Force champion of this workshop, Lt
Gen Judith Fedder, Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics, Installations, and Mission Support,
Headquarters Air Force. Lt Gen Fedder articulated a set of clear desired outcomes for the
workshop prior to the workshop and in person at the workshop. In addition, the committee
thanks the many expert speakers and guests who contributed to this activity. Finally, the
committee’s role was limited to planning the workshop, and the workshop summary has been
prepared by the workshop rapporteur as a factual summary of what occurred at the workshop.

This is the second in a series of workshops conducted by the Air Force Studies Board at the request of the U.S.
Air Force. It follows an earlier workshop titled “Energy Reduction at U.S. Air Force Facilities Using Industrial
Processes,” held on November 5-7, 2012.
