handle is hein.gao/gaobaalom0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I ApGAO AAccountability * Integrity * Reliability United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 B-286562 March 16, 2001 The Honorable Curt Weldon Chairman, Subcommittee on Readiness Committee on Armed Services House of Representatives Subject: Military Readiness: Updated Readiness Status of U. S. Air Transport Capability Dear Mr. Chairman: This letter conveys updated information on the readiness status of U.S. airlift and aerial refueling aircraft similar to that provided in our June 2000 report entitled Military Readiness: Air Transport Capability Falls Short of Requirements. Your office asked us to provide this data because of your ongoing concern that U.S. mobility capabilities may be inadequate to quickly transport the military forces and supplies necessary to execute the National Military Strategy of fighting and winning two nearly simultaneous major theater wars. Specifically, we are providing the following: charts showing fiscal years 1997-2000 mission capable data for C-5s, C-141s, C- 17s, KC-10s and KC-135s compared to the U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command's standards, tables showing the fiscal year 2000 average mission capable rates, the resulting shortfalls in airlift and aerial refueling capability at the onset of war based on the aircraft performing at these rates, and Office of the Secretary of Defense information relating to wartime surge capability, and charts showing the C-5, KC-10 and KC-135 not mission capable for supply and cannibalization rates for fiscal years 1997-2000.
