Currently, the 4,6 16 acre base hosts approximately 48 C- 17 "Globemaster 111," C- 141 "Starlifter" aircraft, and 446~Airlift Wing, and is the Western United States Air Defense Sector hub, one of a few regional NORAD points that monitor radar data for possible incoming hostile or smuggling aircraft. In addition to providing installation support to tenants, the 62ndAirlift Wing supports worldwide combat and humanitarian airlift contingencies and carries out the mid-winder Antarctic airdrop. DOD RECOMMENDATIONS (see Tab 3 for expanded recommendations/justification) 1. Joint Basing of McChord AFEl and Ft Lewis. 2. Realigning McChord medical functions to Ft Lewis.

Their idea came to fruition in 1962 when MATS held its first airdrop training competition. For the next several years the competition remained an annual event, but it fell by the wayside during the years of the United States' most intense participation in the Southeast Asia conflict. The airdrop competitions were reinstated in 1969 but were halted again in 1973, because of budget cuts and the reduced emphasis being given to airdrop operations. However, the esprit de corps engendered among the troops and the training benefits derived from the earlier events were not forgotten and prompted the competition's renewal in 1979 in its present form. Since 1979 the Rodeos have remained an important training event and tactical evaluation exercise for the Military Airlift Command. The following historical study deals with the origins, evolution, and results of the tactical airlift competitions in MATS and MAC.

  • Theater Airlift Lessons from Kosovo
    Theater Airlift Lessons from Kosovo by Lt Col Rowayne A. Schatz, USAF This basic doctrine presents the guiding principles of our Service and our view of the opportunities of the future… As airmen, we must understand these ideas, we must cultivate them and, importantly, we must debate and refine these ideas for the future.1 General Michael E. Ryan Chief of Staff, USAF Operation Allied Force, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) military operation to compel Serbia to cease hostilities against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo and allow a peacekeeping presence on the ground, was the first major war in history fought exclusively with air power. NATO air forces flew over 38,000 sorties from 24 March through 9 June 1999 to allow NATO to achieve its political objectives in Kosovo.2 Although you may not have heard or read much about them, air mobility forces were key to the success of the air war over Serbia. The air mobility team moved enough airmen and equipment to increase the number of air expeditionary wings in Europe from three to ten, provided aid directly to thousands of Kosovar refugees, and deployed a large US Army contingent to Albania—all at the same time. In the words of Colonel Scott Gray, the USAFE Assistant Director of Operations during Operation Allied Force, "This was a phenomenal success, enabling the forces which forced Milosevic to back down while sustaining the refugees he created until they were able to go home.3 According to AFDD1, "Air and space doctrine is an accumulation of knowledge gained primarily from the study and analysis of experience, which may include actual combat or contingency operations as well as equipment tests or exercises."4 I am a firm believer that doctrine is key to warfighting.

  • LCD-76-214 Review of the Military Airlift Command's Use of Chartered
    UNITED STATES GENERALAcC~UNTM OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 LOGISTICS AND COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION B-133025 ’ P’ Th.e Honor able The Secretary of Defense Dear Mr. Secretary: As a follow-on to our review of fuel savings and other benefits by diverting passengers from chartered to scheduled overseas flights, we reviewed the Military Airlift Command’s L’1;,(MAC’s) use of c.hartered cargo aircraft. In examining an 8-month period l/ we found 42 instances in which it appeared MAC could, have used the carrier’s regularly scheduled com- mercial service instead of chartered aircraft. We estimate the Department of Defense (DOD) could have saved as much as $425,000 by shipping this cargo on scheduled flights. In addition, the airlines would have saved about $172,000 in operating costs, including about one million gallons of jet fuel. BACKGROUND MAC contracts with commercial air carriers as needed for supplemental airlift of cargo from MAC’s domestic aerial ports to overseas military terminals. Rates for this serv- ice are established by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB). I”- 3 MAC contracts move cargo in planeload lots on a charter ba- sis and, in some instances, in less .than planeload lots in blocked space on scheduled flights. Cargo moving on scheduled flights is palletized at the MAC aerial port by Air Force personnel and then turned over to the contract carrier. The contract carrier is respon- sible for draying the cargo to the commercial air terminal at origin and for delivering the cargo from the commercial terminal to the appropriate military terminal in the over- seas area.
