Aeromedical Evacuation System.
Abstract
This audit was a joint effort between the Inspector General, DoD, and the Air Force Audit Agency. The Air Force Audit Agency issued one report, and is processing another report on the Aeromedical Evacuation System. The results of the Air Force Audit Agency audit are included in this report. In 1992, the Secretary of Defense established the U.S. Transportation Command as the single manager for transportation functions. The Air Mobility Command, as the Air Force component of the U.S. Transportation Command, manages the Aeromedical Evacuation System. The 375th Airlift Wing of the Air Mobility Command, located at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, provides aeromedical transportation for patients in the continental United States using DoD C-9A "Nightingale" aeromedical evacuation aircraft (C-9A aircraft). In FY 1993, DoD spent about $72 million ($39.1 million of Defense Health Program Operations and Maintenance Appropriations, and $32.9 million of Air Force Military Personnel and Reserve Personnel Appropriations) to transfer 23,530 patients (15,911 outpatients and 7,619 inpatients) for health care in the continental United States.
