| 结论 | Crews view their missions as important and feel a strong sense of camaraderie, including positive attitudes toward colleagues and working in a supportive team setting. On the negative side, crews feel stressed and regard their stress as greater than that of other career fields. About one-third of those in the groups showed signs of burnout. The most frequently mentioned concerns were related to lack of manning and overtasking. Another frequently mentioned area of dissatisfaction was shiftwork. Some concerns were also expressed about training; although most personnel felt that they were adequately trained, they felt that more training would allow them to offer more support. RPA units' locations — Cannon, Creech, and Holloman Air Force Bases — were generally seen as undesirable, and available facilities and services were seen as lacking, largely because of the schedules the crews had to follow. |
| 摘要 | Reduce the workload on remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) personnel. This can be done in several ways: lowering CAP requirements temporarily to allow manning to catch up to demand; manning the career field at 100; and raising crew-to-CAP ratios. Establish a combat-to-dwell policy for RPA personnel. Institute a combat-to-dwell ratio for RPA personnel to mitigate negative effects of combat exposure, high OPTEMPO, and shift work and provide time for training and families. Find ways to attract and retain RPA personnel. The Air Force must continue to offer accession initiatives and offer bonuses and incentive pay, It must also ensure that there are clear, attainable, and rewarding paths to job growth and explore adding new RPA base locations. Continue to improve the RPA human factors environment, such as climate control, ergonomic design, and equipment upgrades. Use metrics to continuously evaluate the health of the RPA community. |
