REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


The Congress Should Require Better

Justifications Of Aircraft For

Noncombat Missions



Since 1976 GAO has issued several reports
questioning Department of Defense justifica-
tions for aircraft intended for noncombat mis-
sions, such as training, peacetime attrition, and
backup during depot maintenance. They were
justified based on unrealistic data and without
adequate consideration of more economical
alternatives.

The Congress has an excellent opportunity to
save billions of dollars by limiting the number
of noncombat aircraft to those that can be
adequately justified. Accordingly, GAO rec-
ommends that the Congress withhold approval
of appropriations requested to procure these
aircraft until better justifications are provided.
