Defense Transportation: 89th Airlift Wing Executive Branch Policies Improved but Reinburshment Issues Remain.

Abstract

In 1992, we issued a report on policies and procedures governing access to and use of the 89th Airlift Wing entitled Military Aircraft: Policies on Government Officials' Use of 89th Military Airlift Wing Aircraft (GAO/NSIAD-92-133). We reported that the policies governing the use of military aircraft were too broad and vague to have much impact on the use of the 89th Airlift Wing by executive and legislative branch officials. Moreover, at that time, the use of aircraft was free of charge to all but a few users, and no one independently verified compliance with policies. We concluded that the policies and their implementation were inadequate and did not ensure that the wing's airlift resources were being used appropriately and consistently. We made several recommendations designed to strengthen controls over uses of the 89th Airlift Wing and reimbursements for such uses.
