I write to request information regarding the Light Air Support (LAS) aircraft program, which is intended to help develop the Afghan Air Force's advanced flight training, aerial reconnaissance, and air support capabilities. I am concerned that this program could be affected by training and maintenance problems similar to those identified by SIGAR in prior inquiries concerning programs to provide aircraft to the Afghan military. On February 27, 2013, the U.S. Air Force Material Command awarded a contract with a potential maximum value of $950 million for the purchase of fixed-wing aircraft and related equipment and support services for the LAS program. The initial contract delivery order was for 20 fixed-wing aircraft and related equipment, at an expected cost of about $450 million. My understanding is that the contractor began delivering the aircraft recently.
