## SEC. 141 REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF AIRCRAFT REQUIRED TO BE MAINTAINED IN STRATEGIC AIRLIFT AIRCRAFT INVENTORY ###
(a)Reduction in Inventory Requirement Section 8062(g)(1) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new sentence: “Effective on the date that is 45 days after the date on which the report under section 141(c)(3) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 is submitted to the congressional defense committees, the Secretary shall maintain a total aircraft inventory of strategic airlift aircraft of not less than 275 aircraft.”. ###
(b)Modification of Certification Requirement Section 137(d)(3)(B) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84; 123 Stat. 2221) is amended by striking “316 strategic airlift aircraft” and inserting “275 strategic airlift aircraft”. ###
(c)Mobility Requirements and Capabilities Study 2018 ####
(1)In general The Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in coordination with the Commander of the United States Transportation Command and the Secretaries of the military departments, shall jointly conduct a study that assesses the end-to-end, full-spectrum mobility requirements for all aspects of the National Military Strategy derived from the National Defense Strategy that is a result of the 2012 Defense Strategic Guidance published by the President in February 2012 and other planning documents of the Department of Defense. ####
(2)Matters included The study under paragraph
(1)shall include the following: #####
(A)A definition of what combinations of air mobility, sealift, surface movements, prepositioning, forward stationing, seabasing, engineering, and infrastructure requirements and capabilities provide low, moderate, significant and high levels of operational risk to meet the National Military Strategy. #####
(B)A description and analysis of the assumptions made by the Commander of the United States Transportation Command with respect to aircraft usage rates, aircraft mission availability rates, aircraft mission capability rates, aircrew ratios, aircrew production, and aircrew readiness rates. #####
(C)An analysis of different combinations of air mobility, sealift, surface movements, prepositioning, forward stationing, seabasing, engineering, and infrastructure requirements and capabilities required to support theater and tactical deployment and distribution, including— ######
(i)the identification, quantification, and description of the associated operational risk (as defined by the Military Risk Matrix in the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction 3401.01E) for each excursion as it relates to the combatant commander achieving strategic and operational objectives; and ######
(ii)any assumptions made with respect to the availability of commercial airlift and sealift capabilities and resources when applicable. #####
(D)A consideration of metrics developed during the most recent operational availability assessment and joint forcible entry operations assessment. #####
(E)An assessment of requirements and capabilities for major combat operations, lesser contingency operations as specified in the Baseline Security Posture of the Department of Defense, homeland defense, defense support to civilian authorities, other strategic missions related to national missions, global strike, the strategic nuclear mission, and direct support and time-sensitive airlift missions of the military departments. #####
(F)An examination, including a discussion of the sensitivity of any related conclusions and assumptions, of the variations regarding alternative modes (land, air, and sea) and sources (military, civilian, and foreign) of strategic and theater lift, and variations in forward basing, seabasing, prepositioning (afloat and ashore), air-refueling capability, advanced logistics concepts, and destination theater austerity, based on the new global footprint and global presence initiatives. #####
(G)An identification of mobility capability gaps, shortfalls, overlaps, or excesses, including— ######
(i)an assessment of associated risks with respect to the ability to conduct operations; and ######
(ii)recommended mitigation strategies where possible. #####
(H)An identification of mobility capability alternatives that mitigate the potential impacts on the logistic system, including— ######
(i)a consideration of traditional, non-traditional, irregular, catastrophic, and disruptive challenges; and ######
(ii)a description of how derived mobility requirements and capabilities support the accepted balance of risk in addressing all five categories of such challenges. #####
(I)The articulation of all key assumptions made in conducting the study with respect to— ######
(i)risk; ######
(ii)programmed forces and infrastructure; ######
(iii)readiness, manning, and spares; ######
(iv)scenario guidance from defense planning scenarios and multi-service force deployments; ######
(v)concurrency of major operations; ######
(vi)integrated global presence and basing strategy; ######
(vii)host nation or third-country support; ######
(viii)use of weapons of mass destruction by an enemy; and ######
(ix)aircraft being used for training or undergoing depot maintenance or modernization. #####
(J)A description of the logistics concept of operations and assumptions, including any support concepts, methods, combat support forces, and combat service support forces that are required to enable the projection and enduring support to forces both deployed and in combat for each analytic scenario. #####
(K)An assessment, and incorporation as necessary, of the findings, conclusions, capability gaps, and shortfalls derived from the study under section 112(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81; 125 Stat. 1318). ####
(3)Submission The Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall jointly submit to the congressional defense committees a report containing the study under paragraph (1). ####
(4)Form The report required by paragraph
(3)shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex. ###
(d)Preservation of Certain Retired C–5 Aircraft ####
(1)In general The Secretary of the Air Force shall preserve eight retired C–5 aircraft until the date that is 30 days after the date on which the final report and briefing required under section 1712(c)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 have each been provided to the congressional defense committees. ####
(2)Manner of preservation The retired C–5 aircraft preserved under paragraph
(1)shall be preserved such that each aircraft— #####
(A)is inducted into or maintained in type 1000 recallable storage; and #####
(B)is not used to supply parts to other aircraft unless specifically authorized by the Secretary of Defense upon a request by the Secretary of the Air Force. ###
(e)Definitions In this section: ####
(1)The term “mobility” means the— #####
(A)deployment, sustainment, and redeployment of the personnel and equipment needed to execute the National Defense Strategy to air and seaports of embarkation, intertheater deployment to air and seaports of debarkation, and intratheater deployment to tactical assembly areas; and #####
(B)the employment of aerial refueling assets and intratheater movement and infrastructure in support of deployment and sustainment of combat forces. ####
