C-130 Fuselage Trainer (FuT) Device

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

59 Medical Wing (MDW) Operational Medicine’s (SGO) Validated Assessment Program for Operational

Readiness (VAPOR) is aggressively working to modernize the medical readiness training platforms available to Airmen assigned to high deployment/operational tempo Unit Type Codes (UTC). With a changing global engagement strategy, peer and near-peer adversaries, and loss of subject matter experts due to reductions in forces, it’s imperative we maximize training platforms to ensure our medics are ready to meet the medical needs of Combatant Commanders. A critical component that is solely provided by the United States Air Force is fixed wing aeromedical evacuation of patients. In both deployed and Continental United States (CONUS) settings, the C-130 is a heavily used platform for these exact purposes. Acquiring a C-130 Fuselage Trainer (FuT) Device would allow medics to obtain a higher level of proficiency with respect to aeromedical evacuation (how to on/off load patients on an airframe quickly), making them more ready to accomplish the mission. Specifically, Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) has the largest number of Critical Care Air Transport Team (CCATT) personnel, who accomplish approximately 20% of all CCATT global deployments, and JBSA medical personnel accomplish almost 40% of all Air Force Medical Service (AFMS) deployments. This means our personnel are regularly deployed and C-130s are frequently used to evacuate patients.

2. PURPOSE.

The VAPOR program has a need to conduct C-130 ground-based training IAW AFI 11-2AE Aeromedical

Evacuation (AE) Missions, En-Route Patient Staging, and IAW AFTTP 3-24.57 Critical Care Air Transport

Team operations. This training supports the FFEP3 Expeditionary Medical Support System (EMEDS) and

FFCCT Critical Care Air Transport Team Unit Type Codes (UTCs). Both UTCs utilize fixed wing aircraft to transport sick and injured patients from point of injury/sickness to higher levels of care globally. While medical readiness training and assets are available in Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), no high-fidelity fixed wing simulation assets are available on JBSA-Lackland.

Through partnership with 19th Air Force (AF), VAPOR was able to locate a C-130H model aircraft at

Sheppard AFB, TX. This aircraft has reached the end of its flying life and was scheduled to be dismantled on-site. The aircraft is a prime candidate for conversion into a Fuselage Trainer (FuT) device IAW AFI 16-

402, for the purposes of utilization as a Ground Instructional Training Aircraft (GITA).

Currently, the only GITA systems available for medical personnel to train on for their war readiness tasks is located at Camp Bullis, TX. Access to those devices is only during enrollment into formal training courses offered by the on-site command.

Procuring the C-130 FuT will allow the VAPOR program to further support medical readiness sustainment training, without having to send personnel out of the city to a formal course. Placing the GITA on

Version: 2022.07.24

P a g e | 4 of 9

Lackland-East Torch Site will allow VAPOR to conduct (simulated) ground-based AE mission scenarios, provide en-route patient staging exercise training (without having to utilize a live aircraft), facilitate C-

130 familiarization and egress training, and allow for ground based medically driven scientific studies to be performed in a simulated aircraft environment. Note that these efforts have never been offered in one location, with this much versatility.

3. SCOPE.

The scope of this contract includes the delivery and setup of a functional C-130H fuselage (no wings, engines, or vertical/horizontal stabilizers) from Sheppard Air Force Base (SAFB) TX to JBSA-Lackland (San

Antonio TX).

During this process, the Contractor shall:

Use a C-130H tow-bar

Remove the aircraft’s wings, engines, vertical stabilizer, and horizontal stabilizer (on-site at

Sheppard AFB)

Use cranes or lifting devices

Transport fuselage, by ground, to JBSA-Lackland

Obtain all required permits germane to transporting the aircraft via ground

Set up the aircraft, on-site at JBSA-Lackland

Lackland. Coordination of movement will include the base Fire Department, Security Forces, and Airfield

Management (among others). Any towing activities of the airframe must be accomplished during the early AM hours (generally 5:00 a.m.) to avoid interfering with flying operations scheduled at the base.
