The study reviews the Army's Air Lines of Communication (ALOC) program, which began as a test in 1977 to provide routine air transportation for class IX repair parts shipped to selected activities in Germany. Since then, the program has been expanded to other activities and to other overseas areas. The use of air transportation instead of surface transportation for the overseas delivery of ALOC-eligible items has significantly reduced the delivery time for routine orders, thereby reducing the amount of material in the supply pipeline. However, using airlift instead of sealift to transport increased overall costs to the Department of Defense by about $30 million, after savings from reduced inventories were considered.
