BY THE U.S, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE

Report To The Secretary Of Defense


An Analysis Of The Counterair Mission Is

Required To Help Ensure That The Air Force

Is Buying The Capabilities It Needs


The mission analysis concept basically consists of
assessing mission capabilities to identify deficiencies
and needs and then suggesting alternative ways to
aqhieve the desired capability. The need for and bene-
fits of mission area analysis have long been recog-
nized in both the Department of Defense and the
legislative branch. In GAO's opinion, the mission
area analysis concept should be an integral part of
the process which ultimately results in developing
the Air Force's congressional budget submission.

Because the Air Force has not analyzed the counterair
mission, the Tactical Air Command may be submitting
requirements that are not the best solutions to actual
mission deficiencies; that is, the requirements were
based on perceived deficiencies in mission capa-
bilities rather than on an analysis of the mission. To
thie extent that this situation goes uncorrected, the
v~lidity of the need for the proposed programs in the
counterair portion of the Air Force budget could be
olien to question.
