The Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) is proposing an aircraft replacement for the 445th Airlift Wing (445 AW) based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (AFB), Ohio. The 445 AW currently possesses 16 C-141Cs Primary Assigned Aircraft (PAA). The 16 C-141C aircraft would be replaced by 10 C-5s PAA and 1 C-5 backup aircraft inventory (BAI). A total of 11 C-5 aircraft would be stationed at Wright-Patterson AFB. The 16 C-141C aircraft would be retired over the next several years. The drawdown of C-141C aircraft is scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year (FY) 2005. The aircraft conversion, if implemented, would begin in FY06 and end in FY07. The Proposed Action would provide the necessary base infrastructure modifications and personnel changes to enable 445 A W aircrews to perform readiness training operations and ensure that resupply mission requirements for C-5 aircraft are met and sustained.
