Abstract:

This study examined the increases in peacetime airlift capacity due to the Military Airlift Commands fleet expansion, determined the impacts on the Army transportation system and developed a process to select the most suitable cargo and route combinations to use the additional capacity. The results of analysis indicated that transportation cost avoidances could be realized by diverting surface port-packed cargoes to airlift however by increasing airlift resupply, potential cost savings could increase.
