| 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
- Frame the receiver demand, tanker availability, boom and drogue failures, crew readiness, and commander priorities.
- Build repair, crossdeck, cannibalize, divert, and sortie-constrain branches with explicit fuel-delivery and risk tradeoffs.
- Bind each recommendation to tanker health, maintenance, and ATO tools plus protocolized outputs.
- Publish degraded-mode branches when boom, drogue, or crew recovery cannot keep pace with demand.
Required Output Format
- Situation snapshot.
- Recommended refueling-restoration branch and rationale.
- Alternative branches with trigger conditions.
- Decision points now/next/pre-delegated.
- Staff tasking by owner and suspense.
- 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.
