10 mins confidence: 
military leader Explanation: I think here it means that the Chief of Staff (Inspekteur der Luftwaffe) is substituted by a military leader in German Air Force Weapon System Command. Most probably the person next in rank to the Chief of Staff. |

| Reference: Nutzungsleiter Reference information: Als weiteres wesentliches Standbein nimmt das LwMatKdo die Einführungsunterstützung und die Nutzungssteuerung für Wehrmaterial in der Materialverantwortung des Inspekteurs der Luftwaffe wahr. Dazu werden mit Beginn der Nutzung von Waffensystemen sogenannte Nutzungsleiter bestellt. Dem jeweiligen Nutzungsleiter obliegt die Gesamtverantwortung für das Management von Wehrmaterial in der Nutzung. Im Sinne dieser Gesamtverantwortung initiiert und koordiniert der Nutzungsleiter alle erforderlichen Maßnahmen zur Erhaltung der Einsatzreife des ihm zugeordneten Wehrmaterials. |

| Reference: US study Reference information: I found the same reference as Casper and, following on from that, the following US study, with lots of references to "in-service support manager" and "in-service-support management", the most convincing of which is in the bibliography: German Air Force Materiel Office Publication, In-Service Support Management – Airborne Weapon Systems since 1956, (Edition Naus, 1999), 116-123. http://faoa.org/journal/german-af.PDF -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-02-18 14:10:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Re Asker Clarification: Perhaps your second suggestion, if only on the basis of this usage in the document? The NAMSA coordinates the mutual support of the weapon system Europe-wide and the GAFMO in-service support manager works closely with this agency. (page 39) |

| Reference: ‘Nutzungsleiter’ within the Ministry of Defence Reference information: The In-service Support Manager or ‘Nutzungsleiter’ within the Ministry of Defence determine what is needed and what is not. ... www.informaworld.com/index/902388789.pdf Unfortunately, for whatever reason(s), the URL above does not open the pdf file. However, if you google for "The In-service Support Manager", the URL shows up as the last g-hit on the page. HTH. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2009-02-18 16:34:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Whether I would say "the In-service Support Manager at the WaSysKdo Lw" or "the WaSysKdo Lw In-service Support Manager"? My answer: Yes - unless somebody comes up with a convincing alternative. Good luck! |
