"The expected level of readiness is different for those units [that] are not scheduled to support a combat role. Particular units cannot be expected to have the same level of readiness when, due to sequestration impacts, we are forced to limit their resources and flying hours.... Many units are unable to accomplish the flying portion of their scheduled readiness inspection and therefore receive a compliance-based inspection. The decrease in [Air Combat Command] units' abilities to accomplish a readiness inspection has had a significant impact on the readiness schedule."
