Air Mobility Command has issued contracts totaling more than $2.3 billion to 11 airlines and teams to provide airlift services during Fiscal 2007 under the Air Force’s Civil Reserve Air Fleet program. These 11 CRAF contractors have committed to support DOD when its airlift needs outstrip the Air Force’s organic capability. (Read the list of 2007 CRAF participants here.)
The Air Force must better explain Agile Combat Employment concepts, align training standards, and address staff shortages to be ready to implement the strategy, according to a new report by the federally funded RAND Corporation.
