Future Airlift Requirements

Abstract

The paper is an analysis of how current airlift requirements are greater than current capabilities. It will show airlift requirements will continue to increase in order to compliment the Army's current transformation. The current Department of Defense policies of becoming a smaller more agile and lethal force will also continue to stress airlift capability. Finally, it shows President Bush's plan to reduce the number of troops overseas will continue to increase airlift requirements on an already over tasked force.
