Worldwide C-17 Availability to Support 82nd Airborne Operations from Fort Bragg/Pope Field

Abstract

The Global Response Force (GRF) must respond to a variety of potential missions across a range of military operations. In addition to traditional missions, GRF is the force called on in any national threat necessitating rapid response. Recent defense guidance further expanded possible roles for the GRF by increasing the types and numbers of missions they will be called on to undertake, thus challenging existing ways those forces operate. RAND Arroyo Center was tasked to provide operational and organizational analysis of the many challenges facing the 82nd Airborne Division GRF. This report focuses on the availability of C-17 aircraft to support the GRF, a subset of the research of the RAND fiscal year 2014 study "Enabling the Global Response Force to Meet Future Needs."
