Book excerpt: This report describes four broad initiatives needed for managing and employing the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) over the next decade. CRAF airlines have provided essential support to the US military since the Korean War. Today, CRAF airlines are supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom, and are committing nearly double the amount of commercial aircraft required by DoD for its most demanding war plans. Over the coming decade, the Defense Department's management and employment of CRAF will need to adapt to meet a number of significant challenges. The airline industry is facing unprecedented financial losses, and will undergo significant restructuring; at the same time, developments in the global security environment, as well as the Department's aircraft purchases and transformational initiatives, will reshape their employment of the fleet. But, if DoD takes the appropriate steps, it can continue to rely on adequate support from US airlines for military operations through the remainder of this decade, and beyond.

Book excerpt: Strategic airlift is vital to meeting the National Security Strategy of protecting the nation's interests throughout the globe. With a decreasing defense budget, the CRAF program is a proven method to provide DoD a relatively inexpensive way to maintain a large airlift capability. This paper investigates and analyzes the thesis that the shift in global business practices and a robust economy, combined with CRAF activation concerns, endangers the future of the CRAF program. Section One begins with a historical overview and current status of the CRAF program. Section Two analyzes two core problems (decreased financial reliance upon DoD and increased likelihood of CRAF activation) generated within the civil air carrier industry and military by recent shifts in both the economic and political environment. Section Three provides recommendations to counter these problems and improve the relationship between DoD and civil air carriers. Finally, Section Four examines areas requiring future study that may potentially prove instrumental in addressing the future of CRAF.

Download or read book The Civil Reserve Air Fleet written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) program is designed to provide the Department of Defense (DOD) with commercial aircraft to augment military airlift during peacetime and wartime emergencies. CRAF is composed of civil air carriers that contract not only their aircraft but also their operating and support personnel and facilities. The program is economically feasible because it provides DOD with emergency airlift capability without buying the aircraft, paying personnel costs, or flying and maintaining aircraft during peacetime. Since its inception in 1952, CRAF has been tested numerous times in exercises designed to evaluate its responsiveness to airlift emergencies without actually activating the fleet. The most recent comprehensive exercise, Scarlet Scarf, showed that normal peacetime airlift management procedures for CRAF were adequate for management in wartime. Improvements instituted as a result of the exercise should assure continued responsiveness of the program. The Military Airlift Command has identified 220 airfields in or near North America, Europe, and the Eastern Pacific that are suitable, to some extent, for CRAF operations. Considering military and civilian assets, it appears that equipment will be available and adequate to support CRAF operations. Major CRAF modification programs are being directed toward production of wide-body passenger-type aircraft. Action is being taken to ensure the availability of NATO civil aircraft in emergencies.

Download or read book Emergency Airlift written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) program to determine whether: (1) the Department of Defense's (DOD) efforts to ensure that CRAF was ready for mobilization were sufficient and effective; and (2) commercial carriers were prepared to support CRAF aircraft, particularly at foreign airfields. GAO found that it was uncertain whether CRAF could effectively meet DOD mobilization requirements because: (1) Military Airlift Command (MAC) tests of the program through simulation and field exercises were very limited; (2) DOD had provided limited mobilization planning data to CRAF carriers, making it very difficult for the carriers to plan for utilization of the system in an emergency; (3) MAC had not sufficiently monitored carrier compliance with contract provisions designed to help ensure effective mobilization; and (4) the incompatibility of data communications services at some military airfields with existing commercial services could hinder effective communications. GAO also found that, at overseas airfields, CRAF might not get the support needed because responsible carriers were unaware of the estimated work load for each location. Having allies provide this support under host-nation support agreements is an option that DOD is pursuing.

Download or read book Civil Reserve Air Fleet written by Soren M. Jonsson and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides background and analyses on the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) which was created by executive order in 1951. As a result, the Departments of Commerce (DOC) and Defense (DOD) formulated a contingency plan to meet the nation's airlift needs in times of crisis. When the Department of Transportation (DOT) was created, it assumed DOC's role in the CRAF program, and today, DOD and DOT work together to manage the CRAF program. The CRAF supports DOD airlift requirements in emergencies when the need for airlift exceeds the capability of the military aircraft fleet. All CRAF participants must be U.S. carriers fully certified by the Federal Aviation Administration, and meet the stringent standards of Federal Aviation Regulations pertaining to commercial airlines. The CRAF has three main segments: international, national, and aeromedical evacuation. The international segment is further divided into the long-range and short-range sections and the national segment into the domestic and Alaskan sections. Assignment of aircraft to a segment depends on the nature of the requirement and the performance characteristics needed.
