F-22 Plus-Up Environmental Assessment 2.0 Description of the Proposed Action and Alternatives 2.1.3 JBER-Elmendorf Personnel The addition of six primary and one backup F-22 aircraft at JBER-Elmendorf would require additional personnel to operate and maintain the aircraft and to provide necessary support services. F-22 personnel would increase by an estimated 103 positions from the personnel numbers associated with the current F-22 squadrons. Table 2.1-3 details the manpower requirements to support the plus-up of the F-22 wing. Multiple personnel and skills are needed to support F-22 operational aircraft. Table 2.1-3. Manpower Requirements Manpower Requirements Officer Enlisted Civilian Total F-22 1 92 661 193 946 F-22 2 102 734 213 1,049 Notes: 1. Existing two squadrons of 18 primary aircraft. 2. Requirements for two squadrons of 21 primary aircraft. 2.2 Proposed Action Elements Affecting Alaskan Airspace F-22s at JBER-Elmendorf conduct similar missions and training programs as performed with the F-15Cs and F-15Es previously located at what is now JBER. The Air Force expects that the additional F-22s would use the training airspace associated with JBER in a manner similar to the F-22s currently based there. All F-22 flight activities would use existing Alaskan airspace. Figure 2.2-1 displays the five types of Alaskan training airspace. Four of those airspace types are used by F-22 aircraft for training. Airspace managed by JBER associated with the proposed F-22 plus-up includes MOAs, ATCAAs, Warning Areas, and Restricted Areas. Restricted Areas and the ground ranges supporting air-to-ground training are provided by joint use ranges at Stuart Creek Range (R-2205) and the Oklahoma Impact Area of R-2202 (Figures 2.2-2 and 2.2-3). The Army’s Blair Lakes Range (R-2211) is exclusively used by the Air Force. Operational requirements and performance characteristics of the F-22 dictate that most training would occur in MOAs and ATCAAs. MOAs are established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to separate military training aircraft from non-participating aircraft (those not using the MOA for training). Nonparticipating military and civil aircraft flying under visual flight rules may transit an active MOA by employing see-and-avoid procedures. When flying under instrument rules, nonparticipating aircraft must obtain an air traffic control clearance to enter an active MOA. The additional F-22 aircraft would train in existing Alaskan airspace where the two squadrons of JBER F-22 aircraft now train. Page 2-5
