Kasich Chairman, Committee on the Budget House of Representatives The Honorable Herbert H. Bateman Chairman The Honorable Norman Sisisky Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on Military Readiness Committee on National Security House of Representatives In 1992, the Air Force decided to reconfigure its fighter force into smaller squadrons. This decision occurred at a time when the Secretary of Defense was attempting to reduce defense operating and infrastructure costs. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of the Air Force operating its fighter forces in smaller squadron sizes and the implications this might have on the Secretary of Defense’s efforts to reduce defense infrastructure costs. We focused on the C and D models of the Air Force’s active component F-15s and F-16s. Because of your interest in this subject, we are addressing this report to you. To achieve directed force structure reductions, the Air Force has been Background reducing the number of F-15 and F-16 aircraft in its inventory. Between fiscal years 1991 and 1997, the Air Force plans to reduce its F-15 aircraft from 342 to 252. Over this same period, the Air Force plans to reduce its F-16 aircraft from 570 to 444. In 1991, F-15 and F-16 aircraft were configured in 42 squadrons.

The Air Force, through Air Combat Command (ACC), is prepared to provide combat aircraft for these conflicts. ACC doesn’t act alone. Throughout the post-Cold War era, airlift has been at the center of military operations ranging from the massive airlift during DESERT SHIELD to airlift support for OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM. Air Mobility Command (AMC) lies at the heart of the Air Force’s airlift capability and is critical to our national security. Both ACC and AMC rely heavily on another command, Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), to accomplish their mission.
