Improving and Extending the Mobility En Route System

Abstract

This research project evaluates the improvements necessary to maintain and extend the effectiveness of the air mobility en route system. Previous research regarding limitations and requirements for air delivery of personnel and material are examined to establish the functionality of the en route system and methods for evaluating its effectiveness. Two previous projects that attempted to optimize location and infrastructure for the en route systems are compared against the most current recommendations being explored at Headquarters Air Mobility Command. The comparison of these projects indicates where consensus exists concerning efforts to ensure the future effectiveness of the overall system. This paper attempts to provide a simplified, consistent way ahead for an incredibly complex and expensive mobility system that is critical to meeting the current and future needs of the warfighter.
