Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dept. of Defense (DoD) used nearly 700 aircraft, as well as commercial and leased aircraft, to carry about three million troops and 800,000 tons of cargo in support of wartime, peacetime, and humanitarian efforts in 2008. C-5s and C-17s move troops and cargo internationally (strategic airlift) and C-130s are the primary aircraft that moves them within a theater of operation (tactical airlift). Over the next four years, DoD plans to spend about $12 billion to modernize and procure airlifters and is currently studying how many it needs. This report: (1) identifies the status of DoD¿s modernization and acquisition efforts; and (2) determines how well DoD is addressing any capability gaps and redundancies. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

Book excerpt: Under the new national military strategy, the Department of Defense (DOD) must be capable of rapidly deploying armed forces to respond to contingency and humanitarian operations around the world. Military strategic airlift aircraft provide the capability to fly the critical, early arriving troops and cargo for overseas deployments. Since DOD is increasingly relying on the C-5 aircraft as its primary airlifter, we assessed the reliability and mission capability of the aircraft and DOD's current plan for modifying the C-5.

Download or read book Prioritization of Strategic Airlift Capability written by Gregory J. Reese and published by . This book was released on 2001-06-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) possesses a single strategic airlift fleet to meet the airlift requirements of the entire DoD. The operation of this fleet is entrusted to the Air Mobility Command (AMC), and its effective operation is supposed to be enabled by the movement priorities established by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). Since the end of the Cold War, AMC has faced transportation requirements growing in both number and urgency due to a more dynamic global environment. The ability of the DoD movement priority system to effectively apportion limited strategic airlift assets has been called into question, especially during times of strain such as the recent operations in Kosovo. This paper looks at quantitative and qualitative data to answer the question "does the current priority system work?" Both sets of data triangulate towards a similar conclusion: the prioritization system often leaves lower priority requirements with periods of no service rather than reduced service. This decreases the overall readiness of U.S. forces and works against the Joint Vision 2020 concepts of dominant maneuver and focused logistics. This research indicates an entirely new prioritization system needs to be developed. The new system must be able to provide reliable support to critical nonvolatile requirements and flexible support to volatile requirements. Doctrine for managing the strategic airlift fleet also needs to be re-engineered to more effectively employ the organic airlift fleet and commercial contract carriers. Without such revolutionary change, strategic airlift capacity will never be able to provide reliable service in a volatile world.
