DOD Commercial Airlift Division Program Support

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1 Background.

Department of Defense (DOD) has directly and indirectly, relied upon the economic and technological strength of commercial industry to augment and enhance organic capabilities. The innovation, manufacturing, and logistical base of the US economy has served as a force multiplier for the uniformed services. For decades it has provided a crucial advantage for the US in geopolitical competition against regional and great power rivals. To most effectively utilize this productive resource, collaboration and alignment between DOD services and the commercial sector is essential to allow for synergistic effects and to prevent needless duplication of effort.

The result will be a harmonized air mobility enterprise which provides unmatched airlift capability anywhere in the world.

As the global commercial economy and the international security environment changes, the need for continued engagement with industry and civilian organizations will only increase. Existing programs must be updated and reviewed, while new efforts aimed at emerging threats and potential risks must be identified and pursued.

DOD requirements, aviation policies and the future operating environment for the DOD, the US

Air Force (USAF), and AMC remain unknown. All agencies related to commercial aviation – including the military, the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International Civil

Aviation Organization (ICAO) and leading academic and policy centers – continue to evaluate developments in technology and changes in the operating environment. These agencies have postured themselves to pursue strategies which adapt to new realities and anticipate further disruptions. AMC must engage with the leaders within the aviation industry to evolve its own practices and policies to new conditions while aligning its programs with the imperatives of the

National Defense Strategy (NDS). AMC must integrate its planning and capabilities across the spectrum of small, medium, and large fixed and rotary wing aircraft to effectively support DOD throughout the nine Combatant Commands (COCOMs). AMC must adjust to existing practices and, when necessary, develop new policies and programs reflecting emerging environments and anticipating future requirements. Failure to do so, will compromise the effectiveness of not only

AMC, but the agencies, commands and units which depend on air mobility to execute their mission in service of national defense.

The DOD Commercial Airlift program represents an essential component of American defense strategy, allowing the DOD to augment its strategic airlift capability with capacity drawn from

American commercial air carriers. The National Security Decision Directive 280, promulgated in

1987, mandates regular reviews of the program in order to respond to changes in the commercial aviation sector. The two-phase Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) study of 2017-2018 revealed unprecedented shifts in the security environment and global economy which require a new comprehensive revision of the program in order to ensure it can meet NDS objectives and remain viable during changing market conditions.

The previous studies have been solely focused on the CRAF Program, leaving a gap in the requirements for all of DOD. Those studies built a foundation knowledge which this requirement will continue to develop across the spectrum of aviation. The 2019 AMC vision lays out the strategy and road map for successful AMC operations to include commercial operations. This requirement will align with that vision and the newly drafted DOD commercial airlift vision. With these visions in hand, the contractor shall incorporate data and capabilities from the economic, geopolitical, military, and aviation sectors. The analysis and recommendations produced from this effort will be regularly briefed to senior DOD leaders and guide them to the most effective and feasible logistics plans for future conflicts. Ultimately, this requirement is geared toward preserving the operational mission requirements of the CRAF program for the warfighter for the next 10 years, while integrating other commercial operations considerations to balance capacity for the commander.

1.2 Objective and Scope.

The purpose of this contract is to provide Air Mobility Command (AMC) and the AMC

Commander (AMC/CC) with expert-level and enduring advisory services. This contract shall endure the changes in leadership across the commands and continue to focus on the future environment while staying in lock step with Department of Defense (DOD) requirements. The contractor shall supply industry leading expertise from the commercial aviation community, DOD, and AMC as well as support from across the Security-Industry-Technology-Economy

(SITE) areas. The contractor shall conduct assessments, analysis, and make recommendations in the development of the long-term strategic outlook needed to ensure the viability and effective operation of DOD Commercial Airlift program, including the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) through the year 2035. This includes all aspects of air mobility operations related to DOD commercial aviation, for example, the CRAF program, space operations in support of the NDS objectives, the Joint Operating Environment (JOE), the AMC Vision, and DOD policy. The contractor shall also provide advice to the AMC/CC on geopolitical, economic, and industry developments on a recurring basis. Further, the contractor shall provide program support to

AMC and US Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) by delivering on-site support and assistance in the implementation of strategic recommendations and offer continual program and process improvements. The results will ultimately align the program with the NDS, JOE, and

AMC/CC priorities and vision. This contract will ensure continuity across changes in operating environment, leadership, and market fluctuations by aligning itself with DOD requirements and

DOD and commercial aviation policy.

The CRAF program and Commercial Augmentation (COMM/AUG) program rely on airlift capacity drawn from US commercial carriers. The increased airlift capacity augments military airlift to fulfill DOD requirements during periods of crisis, as well as peacetime. The stakeholders involved in this enterprise are impacted by changing requirements in US security policy, shifting regional security dynamics, American foreign relations, commercial aviation market dynamics, technological developments in aviation and logistics, and macro-economic impacts of global trade and finance. In order to provide effective strategic support to DOD, the contractor shall comprehend and apply lessons from the previous analysis and studies to assess the applicability of current aviation industry trends and issues, and to advise on the future applicability or feasibility of the previous study conclusions.

Furthermore, the contractor shall identify, recommend, and assess additional studies which may impact commercial operations in the future operating environment.
