Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the theater airlift implications for the United States Army's new vision for land warfare in the 21st century, the Army After Next (AAN). The AAN planners envision a lighter, leaner, and more lethal force that will rely heavily on information dominance to maximize combat effectiveness throughout the projected nonlinear battlespace. This new vision requires a change in the role of theater airlift. This thesis addresses the question, "What theater airlift capabilities will be critical to support the Army After Next, and which emerging systems provide the best path to achieve such capabilities?" This paper provides a brief explanation of the fundamental elements of the AAN concept, and their implications for future airlift. From that analysis, the thesis identifies four key capabilities that will be required of theater airlift at unprecedented levels: (1) austere operations, (2) cargo handling capability, (3) situational awareness, and (4) defensive systems. After describing current theater airlift capabilities, the paper provides some alternative paths to acquire the necessary airlift capabilities. The following conclusions were among those developed through analysis. Based on the data available, the tilt wing concept provides the best platform to meet AAN lift/airfield requirements. Also, austere operations will require a "stand-off" capability for evaluating the suitability of opportune landing sites. Autonomous, efficient cargo handling systems embedded in the design of the aircraft will not only enhance flexibility but also increase survivability in hostile environments.

Download or read book Theater Airlift written by and published by . This book was released on 1909 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: The transfer of theater airlift assets from the Military Airlift Command (MAC) and the Air Mobility Command (AMC) to the theater commanders in 1992 and 1993 was an appropriate reallocation of forces. However, there is more to theater airlift than just accepting the aircraft. The key to successful airlift operations is utilization of an effective airlift management system. Because the theaters had not controlled airlift since 1974 and therefore initially lacked any substantial expertise in theater airlift, they essentially tried to "construct" their own airlift system rather than "duplicate" the system that AMC utilizes. As a result, theater airlift has floundered and several issues have emerged regarding command and control capabilities, en route support capabilities, major command relationships, and theater airlift doctrine. To alleviate the current problems that exist regarding theater airlift and to help realize the full potential of theater airlift, the following actions should be taken: (1) establish deployable "enhanced" Airlift Control Elements (ALCEs) in each theater which are managed by the theaters instead of AMC, (2) embrace the "seamless" logistics system concept and implement it in each theater, and (3) update and revise theater airlift doctrine to blend with the post-Cold War strategy of U.S. military forces.

Tripp and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent operations have shed light on shortfalls in Air Force intratheater airlift. Using an expanded strategies-to-tasks framework, the authors assess current intratheater airlift processes, organizations, doctrine, training, and systems. This report catalogues identified shortfalls and recommends options for improving the Theater Distribution System. The authors recommend separation of supply, demand, and integrator roles and adoption of a closed-loop planning and execution process.

Download or read book Putting Tactical Back Into Theater Airlift written by John D. Daly and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The once clear distinctions between strategic and tactical airlift is becoming increasingly more clouded. The Theater CINCs are concerned over the readiness of theater airlift to meet their theater needs. This together with the added emphasis on unity of command created by the Goldwaters-Nichols Act of 1986 is creating a growing desire by the Theater CINCs to reacquire command of theater airlift from the Military Airlift Command (MAC). This study explains why tactical and strategic airlift were consolidated into MAC and outlines the Theater Airlift Manager (TAM) system. With that as background, the author shows how tactical airlift has been assimilated by the strategic mission, thus diluting the emphasis on tactical airlift, and how this is causing concern for MAC's responsiveness to the theater airlift needs. The paper concludes that the benefits of the single manager concept outweigh the duplication of efforts which will result from returning command to the Theater CINC. A number of recommendations are made including a change in policy by the Air Force to reemphasize the distinct differences between strategic and tactical airlift.

Download or read book Launching the Workhorse Vertical Or Super-Short Takeoff Capabilities for the Next Theater Airlift Aircraft written by Robert C Crown and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-06-28 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an assessment of whether the US Air Force (USAF) should anticipate modernizing its core theater airlift fleet with aircraft designed for super-short takeoffs or landings under rough-field conditions (SSTOL-RF) or aircraft designs focused on vertical takeoffs or landings (VTOL) with secondary SSTOL-RF capabilities (V/SSTOL-RF). Several considerations speak to the timeliness of this issue. Most importantly, the ongoing evolution of USAF and Army (USA) war-fighting concepts increase their demand for mobility and sustainment support in quantities and places that the aircraft in the present airlift fleet cannot provide. Also, the present mainstay of the theater airlift fleet, the C-130, has been an inadequate platform for vital missions for decades. It is too small to link effectively and efficiently with large intertheater airlifters, such as the C-5, C-17, and civil reserve air fleet (CRAF) jumbo cargo aircraft at intermediate staging bases. Also, the C-130's runway requirements limit its ability to connect to battlefield airlift helicopters or deliver forces and sustainment at forward-most points of need and effect (PON/E) themselves. Intratheater airlift, consequently, is the weak link in the USAF's ability to provide a smooth flow of air and land combat forces and their sustainment in the early stages of conflicts and crises. Finally, although the USAF has not published a formal plan for theater airlift modernization, most officials interviewed for this study suggested sometime in the 2040s as the window for the next aircraft to appear. Given the experience of the C-17 program, which took 19 years to move from development contract to the first squadron reaching initial operational capability, a program aimed at putting a squadron of future theater airlifters on line by the middle 2040s should begin sometime in the early 2020s. As a contribution to conceptualizing the best path to a modern theater airlift fleet, then, this study will assess the SSTOL-RF and V/SSTOLRF design approaches in terms of their ability to fulfill critical USA and USAF requirements and their operational risk profiles.

Book excerpt: Global air mobility is an American invention. During the twentieth century, other nations developed capabilities to transport supplies and personnel by air to support deployed military forces. But only the United States mustered the resources and will to create a global transport force and aerial refueling aircraft capable of moving air and ground combat forces of all types to anywhere in the world and supporting them in continuous combat operations. Whether contemplating a bomber campaign or halting another surprise attack, American war planners have depended on transport and tanker aircraft to launch, reinforce, and sustain operations. Air mobility has also changed the way the United States relates to the world. American leaders use air mobility to signal friends and enemies of their intent and ability to intervene, attack, or defend on short notice and powerfully. Stateside air wings and armored brigades on Sunday can be patrolling the air of any continent on Wednesday and taking up defensive positions on a friend's borders by Friday. This capability affects the diplomacy and the calculations of America and its friends and enemies alike. Moreover, such global mobility has made America the world's philanthropist. From their earliest days, American airlift forces have performed thousands of humanitarian missions, dropping hay to snow-bound cattle, taking stranded pilgrims to Mecca, and delivering food and medicine to tsunami stricken towns. Air Mobility examines how air power elevated the American military's penchant for speed and ability to maneuver to an art unequalled by any other nation. Is charitable giving more about satisfying the needs of the donor or those of the recipient? The answer, according to Friedman, is both, and Reinventing Philanthropy provides the essential tools for maximizing the impact of one's donations.

This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The command and control of today's intratheater airlift system, as seen in doctrine and in application, is complicated and conflicted. As the Army continues its transformation to the modular force, requirements for responsive and flexible intratheater airlift have grown. In contrast, existing Joint and Air Force intratheater airlift doctrine does not address these needs, as seen in recent operations during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Presented in this book are two historical case studies of past intratheater airlift efforts: Burma during World War II and the tactical airlift system of Vietnam. Both provide examples of distinct intratheater airlift command and control arrangements with similar attributes called for by Army transformation. Both case studies provide lessons in the application of theater airlift to support ground forces in a nonlinear battlefield. Coupled with identified failings in both doctrine and structure of the current theater distribution system, this book identifies requirements of theater airlift if it is to provide effective and efficient support to the modular force. With an understanding of current and past doctrine, structural evolutions of intratheater airlift, and the effects of each system, this book concludes with recommended changes to the intratheater airlift command and control structure to meet Army requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1950s leaders in the US Air Force have debated whether theater airlift, specifically C-130 aircraft, would be most effectively controlled by a Theater Commander or by the commander of the Air Force's airlift command. This paper reviews the history of theater airlift command and control and attempts to determine how the Air Force might reorganize to control theater airlift as efficiently and effectively as possible. It examines whether sweeping changes in Air Force command structure initiated in the early 1990s improved or degraded theater airlift operations. It addresses operations in both the Pacific and European theaters. This study finds that the most drastic and lasting improvements to airlift operations effectiveness can be achieved if the method of airlift management is changed to the single commander concept. The practical application of this method would be that all aircraft in the same area whether on a theater or strategic airlift mission would be controlled by the same commander. That commander could be the Theater Commander or the AMC Commander; either could effectively and efficiently control theater airlift if allowed to control all airlift aircraft flying missions in the overseas theaters. The findings suggest that it is in the best interest of the Air Force and DoD to employ the single commander concept to provide command and control of theater airlift.
