GAO reviewed an Air Force study which concluded that
its plan to operate Civil Reserve Air Fleet aircraft through
military aerial ports should not be changed despite a Senate
Committee on Appropriations request that the Air Force consider
contributions that could be provided by the use cf commercial
airport facilities. Findings/Conclusions: The Air Force
understated both the cargo processing capability of the
comnezcial terminals and the potential personnel savings
resulting from their use. Use of the commercial terminal
facilities for the movement of military cargo would reduce the
Military Airlift Comman4's overall staffing requirements
significantly. If, during full mobilization, all commercially
compatible resupply cargo mere transferred to commercial aerial
ports, the staffing could be reduced by several hundred persons.
Any operational problems caused by the rerouting of military
cargo through commercial airports could be 3olved through
advance planning. Recommendations: The Senate Ccamittee on
Appropriations should direct the Air Force to develop a
comprehensive plan to use the Civil Reserve Air Fleet cargo
terminal facilities. (QM)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaacbv0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
