The commercial air carrier industry will be relied upon
to provide the airlift capability required beyond that
available in the organic military airlift fleet. It is
therefore the policy of the United States to recognize
the interdependence of military and civilian airlift
capabilities in meeting wartime airlift requirements, and
to protect those national security interests contained
within the commercial air carrier industry.
5.
During peacetime, Department of Defense requirements
for passenger and/or cargo airlift augmentation shall be
satisfied by the procurement of airlift from commercial
air carriers participating in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet
program, to the extent that the Department of Defense
determines that such airlift is suitable and responsive to
the military requirement. Consistent with the requirement
to maintain the proficiency and operational readiness of
organic military airlift, the Department of Defense shall
establish appropriate levels for peacetime cargo airlift
augmentation in order to promote the effectiveness of the
Civil Reserve Air Fleet and provide training within the
military airlift system.
6.
Short-term airlift capability required to meet contingency
requirements which might be considered minor surges shall be
provided by increased utilization of aircraft in the organic
sector, as well as by the increased utilization of the
commercial air carriers regularly providing service to the
Department of Defense.
7.
United States Government policies should provide a framework
for dialogue and cooperation with our national aviation
industry. It is of particular importance that the aviation
industry be apprised by the Department of Defense of
long-term requirements for airlift in support of national
defense. The Department of Defense and the Department of
Transportation shall jointly develop policies and programs
to increase participation in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet and
promote the incorporation of national defense features in
commercial aircraft. Government policies should also
support research programs which promote the development of
technologically advanced transport aircraft and related
equipment.
