Book Description
During the 1970s and 1980s, there existed a gap between the strategic mobility requirement and the nation's cargo assets to meet this requirement. Consequently, the Military Airlift Command developed and implemented the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Enhancement Program (CEP) to bridge this gap. Civilian airlines were given monetary and other incentives to modify their existing wide- body passenger aircraft enabling them to carry military-sized cargo in the event of military necessity. This study examines the National Defense Airlift System, the concept behind the CEP's development and reasons for its failure. It also discusses whether the current military, Congressional, and airline environments are conducive to a revitalization of the CEP. It was determined that the current environments do not favor a re-birth of the CEP. However, if a CEP were deemed necessary to meet a potential gap in the strategic mobility requirement, actions could be taken by AMC, Congress, and the airlines to aid its success. Some of these actions are: developing adequate incentives enticing airline participation, ensuring even distribution of enhanced aircraft among CEP participants, investigating use of medium-sized aircraft, investigating benefits of placing financial liens on enhanced aircraft, and reducing CRAF activation concerns among participants.

Book Description
"Since the beginning of manned flight, the movement of men and equipment by air has been critical to our nation's national security. This realization led to the establishment of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) in 1951 to augment the nation's military airlift fleet in times of national emergency. In the fifty-six years following its inception, CRAF has proven itself numerous times as a critical enabler to our military strategy. Recent changes within the military and trends towards a globalized economy have the Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S. airlines on diverging paths. The purpose of this paper is to examine these changes and their possible impact on our national security. Following a basic overview outlining CRAF and its criticality, the paper will examine the conflict of interest between our national economy and our national security regarding the push to liberalize airline ownership and control. The paper will conclude by examining some possible options and recommendations that may help address the concerns so as to ensure the CRAF program remains a viable and integral part of our military capability."--Abstract from web site.

Book Description
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 Description
Since the beginning of manned flight, the movement of personnel and equipment by air has been critical to U.S. national security. This realization led to the establishment of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) in 1951 to augment the military airlift fleet in times of national emergency. In the 56 years following its inception, the CRAF has proven itself numerous times as a critical enabler to U.S. military strategy. Recent changes within the military and trends toward a globalized economy have placed the Department of Defense and U.S. airlines on diverging paths. The purpose of this paper is to examine these changes and their possible impact on U.S. national security. Following a basic overview of the CRAF and its criticality, the paper examines the conflict of interest between the national economy and national security regarding the push to liberalize airline ownership and control. The paper concludes by examining possible options and recommendations that help address these concerns to ensure that the CRAF program remains a viable and integral part of the U.S. military capability.
