• Remote Expeditionary Support Package (RESP) – “…RESP has been added to the vernacular of

aviation logisticians and is used to describe the initial logistics support package that is deployed. It remains critical to the deployability and effectiveness of Marine aviation that continued refinement of RESPSs in support of deliberate plans be conducted.

Remote Expeditionary Support Package Remote Expeditionary Support Package (RESP)(RESP)

Remote Expeditionary Support Package Remote Expeditionary Support Package (RESP)(RESP)

A RESP is a combination of a Fly-In Support Package (FISP) (O-level spare/repair parts), Airborne Weapons Support Equipment (AWSE), Aircraft Armament Equipment (AAE) – minus Class V(A), Aviation Support Equipment (SE), Mobile Facilities (MFs), and personnel that would detach from a supporting MALS to provide aviation peculiar logistics support to an Aviation Combat Element (ACE) for 30 days.

 A RESP is strategically airlifted to an Area of Responsibility

and designed to provide aviation logistics support, to a specific number of a type aircraft, until the arrival of more robust, follow-on logistics support from Marine Aviation Logistics Support Program (MALSP) sources (PCSP, CCSP, FOSP), MPF assets, Host Nation Support, or other Joint/Combined logistics resources. When ACE missions, endurance, and bed down scenarios so dictate, the RESP may not be augmented by any additional, follow-on support and will serve as a stand-alone support package for the ACE."
