Cost-Benefit Analysis of the 2006 Air Force Materiel Command Test and Evaluation Proposal

Abstract

As with other military services, the Air Force must recapitalize its equipment, which is an expensive undertaking. In 2006, to make additional funds available for recapitalization, the Office of the Secretary of Defense issued Program Budget Decision 720 (PBD-720), which directed a $6.2 billion reduction in support contractors over FYs 2007 through 2011. Air Force Materiel Command's (AFMC's) share of this reduction totaled $839 million, of which $371 million was T&E's share. To meet the $371 million budget objective, AFMC considered several options. One of these options, referred to as the "Organizational Streamline Approach," focused on the consolidation and potential divestiture of U.S. Air Force T&E facilities and capabilities. This option was included in the FY 2008 budget process.
