2 AFI21-103_ACCSUP_ADDENDUM_S 21 SEPTEMBER 2017 SUMMARY OF CHANGES This publication has been substantially revised and must be completely reviewed. 1. General. The MESL is the basis of status reporting IAW AFI 21-103. MESLs lay the ground work for reporting the status of aircraft availability. They list the minimum essential systems and subsystems that must be fully operational for it to perform specifically assigned unit wartime, training, test or other assigned missions. Mission Ready Available (MRA) is used for Resource Readiness Reporting (formerly Status of Resources and Training System or SORTS), IAW AFI 10-201, Force Readiness Reporting. Resource Readiness provides an objective assessment of unit status, based on the full mission set it was organized for to include Named Operations and OPLANS. 1.1. Qualifying notes are used to provide clarification, define aircraft exceptions and/or help explain complex degraded mission systems such as minimum requirements or suspension equipment. 1.2. Aircraft status for generation and deployment. The goal is to generate or deploy Fully Mission Capable (FMC) aircraft, recognizing status actually achieved may be less than FMC. A Not Mission Capable (NMC) aircraft may be deployed provided it is safe for flight and can be configured and generated to MRA status at an employment site. 1.3. All units will generate, or deploy and regenerate, using this addendum. (T-2). Upon actual deployment to another MAJCOM theater, the gaining MAJCOM has the responsibility to resource and specify the unit's requirements, and resource the differences in support/mission equipment. 1.4. Reading the MESL. A MESL is read by comparing the systems stated by work unit code (WUC) against the Full System List (FSL) and all applicable Basic System Lists (BSL) across the page. Each unit's Designed Operational Capability (DOC) statement determines applicability of BSL columns. This addendum incorporates all ACC assigned aircraft and therefore it is important to compare only those columns listed in the MESL which are applicable to the unit's assigned aircraft. For example, units with CC (wartime) coded aircraft would determine and report status using only the FSL and BSL columns related to their DOC statement. Units with TF (training) coded aircraft would determine and report status using only the FSL and TNG columns, and units with CB (test) coded aircraft would determine and report status using only the FSL and TST columns. Units with multiple coded aircraft will ensure status is reported using the MESL columns appropriate to the individual aircraft assignment code. For F-15A/B/C/D coding refer to Table 1.1.
