Schlesinger The Secretary of Defense Attention: Assistant Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) Dear Mr. Secretary: We have completed our survey of the contract air cargo system operated by the Air Force (LOGAIR) and the similar system operated by the Navy (QUICKTRANS). We had intended to do a detailed review of these systems, but since the Department of Defense (DOD) is con- sidering consolidating the systems, we do not plan any further work on the matter at this time. We do, however, have several observations we would like to call to your attention. Air Force and Navy shipping records showed that, in many instances, LOGAIR and QUICKTRANS flights carried much less car ta craf t. 0OQ1_ educe contract costs Q KNS routes and by consolidating certain LOGAIR flights. Further, savings could be _di ' o gLOGAIR and QUICKTRANS terminal operations and by reducing LOGAIR scheduled landings. Also, Navy policies on transporting non-Navy cargo may inhibit other DOD activities' use of QUICKTRANS. We believe the foregoing indicate a need for a unified system to serve the needs of all DOD activities. Our observations are based on fiscal year 1973 route structures, flight schedules, and utilization data for the 3-month period ended March 1973. Although a number of changes were made in the fiscal year 1974 route structure to achieve some economies, there are opportunities for additional improvements.
