Why are some F-14 and A-6 squadrons head and shoulders
above others? What makes a squadron excellent? This is the
question for this research. The study was conducted in two
phases. Phase one involved interviews with 25 senior
officers with some past experience in F-14 and A-6
communities. They were queried about their definitions of
excellence and were asked to nominate a squadron which met
their criteria for excellence. Phase two began with the
tabulation of excellent squadrons selected by the senior
officers. For the most part the selections in each category
and community were unanimous. The selected squadrons were
then visited and personnel within the squadron were
interviewed and queried about why they felt they were chosen
as the excellent squadrons and what they did that was
different from other squadrons.
The result of this research has been analyzed and is
presented in Chapter two in comprehensive detail. Chapter
three contains the summary of what was found.
