Abstract:

This report addresses the operation of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet CRAF during Operation Desert ShieldStorm. Although the CRAF was established in 1952 to augment military airlift during contingencies, it was first activated on August 17, 1990. In more than 5,300 flights between August 1990 and May 1991, the CRAF transported about 67 percent of the passengers and 22 percent of the cargo that was airlifted to the Persian Gulf area. That contribution was critical to the success of Operation Desert ShieldStorm.
