ABSTRACT
This thesis reviews the proposed consolidation of the two E-2C Hawkeye
Fleet Replacement Squadrons (FRS) into a single training site. Expected costs
savings areas are evaluated against possible expense areas. Each savings/cost
category is discussed and possible impact on training if omitted. Implementation
scenarios are presented and evaluated on a break-even basis. In addition,
possible future conditions in which FRS consolidation might be fiscally practical is
discussed. Finally, impact of the consolidation on the E-2C aviation community is
listed.
