Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES





Potential Joint Civil And Military

Use Of Military Airfields



GAO's evaluation of joint civilian and military use of
military airfields shows the concept to be feasible.
Currently, 23 military airfields are operating under
joint use agreements. Whether joint use can be
expanded to other military airfields depends on over-
coming problems unique to each airfield and on the
full cooperation of the military and civilian parties
involved.
Some of the problems are

   --military concerns about impacts on mission,
   operations, and/or security;

   --lack of available land to house civilian
   operations; and

   --lack of support by a civilian sponsor resulting
   from community opposition or the lack of a real
   need for joint use of the airfield.

The Congress directed the Secretaries of Defense
and Transportation to submit a plan by September
1983 for making domestic military airfields avail-
able for joint military and civilian use.
GAO recommends action the Secretaries should
take in developing this plan.
