What is the purpose of the Operational Support Facility (OSF) in the STARS?

The Operational Support Facility (OSF) in the STARS is primarily designed to provide site support for multiple operational sites. This means that the OSF helps multiple locations by coordinating and managing support operations, ensuring that each site has the assistance it needs to function effectively. The facility acts as a hub of resources and personnel that can respond to the varying needs of multiple sites, enhancing operational efficiency and effectiveness in the overall system.

This support can include various functions such as maintenance, logistical planning, and technical assistance that differ from singular site operations, positioning the OSF as a crucial component in maintaining operational readiness across all supported sites. By streamlining resources and expertise, the OSF helps facilitate smoother operations and quicker response times, making it a vital part of the STARS infrastructure.
