name	joint-aerial-refueling-boom-drogue-surge-reconstitution-cell
description	Restore boom, drogue, hose-drum, and tanker sortie capacity when aerial refueling hardware or crews become the pacing item. Use when surge operations need refueling continuity under attrition or maintenance stress.

Joint Aerial Refueling Boom Drogue Surge Reconstitution Cell

Mission Scope

• Treat this skill as an advisory planning and decision-support aid for U.S. warfighter missions in its domain.
• Confirm tanker force laydown, receiver demand, maintenance status, and refueling-control authority before producing recommendations.
• Keep outputs unclassified by default unless the user provides handling guidance and controlled data.

Workflow

1. Frame the receiver demand, tanker availability, boom and drogue failures, crew readiness, and commander priorities.
2. Build repair, crossdeck, cannibalize, divert, and sortie-constrain branches with explicit fuel-delivery and risk tradeoffs.
3. Bind each recommendation to tanker health, maintenance, and ATO tools plus protocolized outputs.
4. Publish degraded-mode branches when boom, drogue, or crew recovery cannot keep pace with demand.

Required Output Format

1. Situation snapshot.
2. Recommended refueling-restoration branch and rationale.
3. Alternative branches with trigger conditions.
4. Decision points now/next/pre-delegated.
5. Staff tasking by owner and suspense.
6. Aerial-refueling restoration packet, protocol bindings, and confidence notes.

Domain Products

Primary products for this skill: tanker restoration matrix, boom-drogue bottleneck board, and receiver-fuel-risk ladder.

Domain Toolchain Defaults

• Primary: tool_suite_id=ts-joint-aerial-refueling-boom-drogue-reconstitution-v1 with protocol_stack_id=ps-joint-aerial-refueling-boom-drogue-reconstitution-stack-v1.
• Alternate: tanker maintenance board plus receiver-priority adjudication cell.
• Degraded: manual tanker-availability board with commander-approved receiver rationing.

External Tools and Protocol Integration

• Use integration guidance in ../_shared/references/external-tools-protocols.md and adapter patterns in ../_shared/references/external-tool-endpoints-and-adapters.md.
• Include packet_id=DPL-AERIAL-REFUELING-BOOM-DROGUE-001 for critical recommendations.
• Prioritize these protocol families for this domain: USMTF, Link 16 J-series, AIXM/FIXM, signed maintenance manifests, and API/JSON.
• Include source system, refresh UTC, confidence, receiver backlog, and unresolved airworthiness gaps in each recommendation.

Authority and Assurance Gates

• Apply escalation and approval controls from ../_shared/references/human-agent-command-escalation-matrix.md and ../_shared/references/warfighter-tool-authority-gates.md.
• Run protocol-conformance and readiness checks from ../_shared/references/us-joint-protocol-assurance-drill.md and ../_shared/references/readiness-certification-evidence-pack.md.
• If airworthiness release, boom or drogue status, or tanker-tasking authority is uncertain, downgrade to advisory-only and require human command review.

Guardrails

• Do not fabricate tanker availability, repair completion, or receiver priority approval.
• Separate confirmed hardware failures from inferred causal chains.
• Flag combat search and rescue, nuclear support, and personnel-recovery dependencies early.
