This paper defines current United States airlift capabilities and highlights the shortfall in our total airlift capability. Several short to mid-term solutions are brought out, including the C-5 wing modification, C-141 stretch and air refueling modification, addition of the Advanced Medium Short-Takeoff/Landing Transport to our airlift inventory and the modification of the aircraft in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet.
