Book Description
The Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) program today provides almost one- half of the U.S. military's strategic airlift needs. Although CRAF's partial activation was successful in the Persian Gulf War, weaknesses in the program will reduce its effectiveness during a total mobilization. This examination of the CRAF performance in the Gulf War will identify issues. provide conclusions, and recommend solutions to improve the program. In addition, unique operational considerations are presented to improve the Ebener commander's awareness of CRAF limitations. As such, this study will focus on the operational considerations of CRAF relative to the war-fighting Commanders-in-Chief. The case is argued that CRAF can not effectively fulfill its war time commitments under a fill Stage II or Stage III activation. Problems experienced during the Gulf War in stage allocations, logistics, management, and equipment will be magnified in a larger activation and significantly reduce CRAF effectiveness when we'll need it the most. To insure the future effectiveness of CRAF, this paper recommends we reorganize the stage system, restructure CRAF logistics concept, emphasize contingency management of CRAF, and provide basic military equipment to the CRAF forces. Civil Reserve Air Fleet; CRAF;; MAC; TRANSCOM; Senior Lodger; Civil Airlines; Strategic Airlift.

The Economic Consequences of the Gulf War
Author: Kamran Mofid
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134939655
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
The Iran-Iraq War were one of the longest and most devastating uninterrupted wars amongst modern nation states. It produced neither victor nor vanquished and left the regimes in both countries basically intact. However, it is clear that the domestic, regional and international repercussions of the war mean that 'going back' is not an option. Iraq owes too much to regain the lead it formerly held in economic performance and development levels. What then does reconstruction mean? In this book, Kamran Mofid counteracts the scant analysis to date of the economic consequences of the Gulf War by analysing its impact on both economies in terms of oil production, exports, foreign exchange earnings, non-defence foreign trade and agricultural performance. In the final section, Mofid brings together the component parts of the economic cost of the war to assign a dollar value to the devastation.
