Budgetary pressures make it difficult for Naval aviation leaders to balance operations, procurement, and personnel to maintain appropriate levels of readiness to meet the demands of combatant commanders. The Naval Aviation Enterprise has had success in reducing the cost of Naval aviation, but operational squadrons are not systematically included in those efforts. This thesis explores how Naval aviation stakeholders define success for Navy strike fighter squadrons and develops a balanced scorecard that can align squadron success factors with the Commander, Naval Air Forces mission of delivering the right force with the right readiness at the right time with a reduced cost.... Providing objectives, performance measures, and targets in a balanced scorecard framework will enable squadrons to reduce operating costs without sacrificing effectiveness or readiness.
