Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerial refueling capabilities are an essential enabler of U.S. power projection and other critic at national missions. OPERATIONS ENDURING and IRAQI FREEDOM (OEF and OIF) could not have happened without these aerial refueling capabilities. Aerial refueling makes possible rapid deployment of forces to contingencies and the elective employment of those forces in the contingencies. In OIF there were over 8500 aerial refueling sorties flown and about 450 million pounds of fuel off loaded. In addition, aerial refueling remains a critical element in supporting the bomber leg of U.S. nuclear forces and other special national security missions. The task force was charged to evaluate current aerial refueling capability and to identify and evaluate alternative means of meeting future aerial refueling requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses the Air Force's plan to replace a portion of its KC-135 aerial refueling tanker fleet with leased Boeing 767 aircraft. It also assesses aerial refueling tanker requirements; the cost-effectiveness of different options (lease, purchase, modify, or extend the service life of the fleet); the policy for leasing major defense acquisition programs; the costs associated with infrastructure improvements; and the depot maintenance backlog. Recognizing that the full extent of this analysis could not be done before the terms of the lease were negotiated, you asked that we provide the preliminary results of our efforts by May 15, 2002.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This case study will examine the actions of the 111th Congress in relation to the KC-X air refueling tanker acquisition program, beginning with a brief review to highlight the need for a dominant fleet of future air refueling aircraft as well as a historical overview of previously failed acquisition attempts. The United States of America, with a need to recapitalize and update current military weapon systems, has been engaged in a score of global conflict that began with Operation Desert Shield in August of 1990 and has continued to present day supporting Overseas Contingency Operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other regions outside the Middle East. It is our Nation's ability of global power projection and sustained logistical support that has permitted long term engagement around the globe. Pursuit of our Nation's four enduring interests; security, prosperity, values, and international order, as outlined in the 2010 National Security Strategy (NSS) requires global military responsiveness."--P. 3.
