This annotated briefing examines the utility of employing KC-135 and KC-10 tanker aircraft in the airlift role. The general characteristics, cargo loading capabilities, and performance of the tankers are examined and compared to the dedicated C-5A/B, C-17A, and C-141B airlift aircraft. Past operational usage of tankers in the airlift role and planning factors for future contingencies are revealed.
