Book Description
Our strategic airlift fleet exists to meet the wartime airlift requirement. In peacetime, MAC aircraft fly in order to maintain the readiness of all of the components of the airlift system. Pilot training requirements commonly measured in flying hours, are the driving readiness requirements. Simply stated, MAC can haul cargo in the back of the planes while the pilot and the rest of the airlift system complete required training events. When 50 new C-5s join the strategic airlift fleet starting in fy 88, the by-product capacity is projected to significantly expand. By fy 90, 21% of the peacetime by-product cargo capacity is projected to be unsubscribed by users. The airlift services industrial fund may not be able to pay for airlift operating expenses, and would have to be further subsidized by air force O & M funds. This study examines the significance of the use and funding of peacetime airlift cargo capacity. Keep in mind that the focus of this study is based on the by-product cargo capacity produced as a result of peacetime flying hour programs derived to provide readiness training for the airlift system. This should not be confused with wartime cargo requirements. There is a definite shortage of wartime airlift capacity and airlift enhancements are currently programmed to correct these wartime shortfalls.

Book Description
The value of airlift in the event of war and the establishment of military requirements for intercontinental air transportation are discussed. The example used relates solely to the United States Air Force. The time period selected, sometime after 1960, was chosen because of the long lead times on new transports currently under consideration for procurement by the military, because of the lead time involved in the kind of military operations commented upon, and for reasons of security.

Book Description
This study examined the increases in peacetime airlift capacity due to the Military Airlift Command's fleet expansion, determined the impacts on the Army transportation system and developed a process to select the most suitable cargo and route combinations to use the additional capacity. The results of analysis indicated that transportation cost avoidances could be realized by diverting surface port-packed cargoes to airlift; however by increasing airlift resupply, potential cost savings could increase.
