<p>This research was conducted to examine the quantitative and qualitative  component requirements for the Tier II and Tier III of the United States Marine Corps  Unmanned Aerial Systems Program. The main objective of this research is to develop a  proposed manpower structure for a composite squadron in order to improve current UAS  capabilities while minimizing manpower requirements.  This was accomplished by conducting an independent assessment of manpower  requirements of the different strategies being considered under the Unmanned Aerial  Systems Family of Systems (UAS FoS) for the Marine Corps for the Tier II and III.  In the final analysis, the research recommends the consolidation of the Tiers II  and III to form a composite UAV squadron, reduce the logistics footprint by relegating  the support mission to the MWSS and the MALS, and combining operational and  maintenance billets within the current VMU structure to consolidate manpower  requirements and optimize UAS force structures.
