Greater Coordination Required In Defense

Planning For Intratheater Airlift Needs





Intratheater airlift.-movement of pasengers
and cargo within combat theaters by air--pro-
vides the capability to move quickly, even
between points separated by impuable ter-
rain. For over a decade, Defense and the Con-
     uhave been concerned with inadequate
ntratheater airlift capabilities. However, little
progress hos been made,
The Defense structure for common use Intra.                             115768
theater airlift Is workable, but the numerous
organizations Involved and the transfers of
operational control planned during war make
strong coordination a key to success.
GAO found that Defense commands' planning
for Intratheater airlift varied from extensive
to virtually nonexistent and that coordination
was lacking. Efforts to improve capability have
been unsuccessful. GAO recommendations
aim toward Improved oversight and coordina-
tion of common use Intratheater airlift plan-
nlng to aid In meeting airlift needs.
