The two DOD activities responsible for charter operations are the Military Airlift Command and the Military Traffic Management Command. The Military Airlift Command negotiates annual contracts with members of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet for long-range and short-range international passenger and cargo airlift, as well as domestic and Alaskan operations expected to last more than 90 days. The Civil Reserve Air fleet is a group of domestic airlines that would augment U.S. military airlift capabilities during emergencies. The Military Airlift Command also negotiates annual contracts with air taxi operators for operations expected to last more than 90 days. The Military Airlift Command spent about $307 million for commercial passenger operations in fiscal year 1985, about $33.7 million of this was with Arrow Air.
