Summary:

GAO reviewed Defense Department (DOD) and civilian agency aircraft used to fly senior military and civilian personnel from October 1992 through March 1995. This briefing report discusses (1) whether the DOD inventory of operational support airlift aircraft was excessive to wartime requirements to support the current military strategy; (2) whether the rules and the regulations governing the use of these aircraft had recently been changed; (3) to what extent senior-level travel was affected by the changes; (4) whether senior DOD officials' trips to the most frequent destinations could have been made aboard government contract carriers; (5) whether DOD helicopters used in the Washington, D.C., area were justified on the basis of wartime requirements; and (6) how often they were flown to nearby destinations. GAO also provides information on the inventory, related costs, and the use of aircraft by civilian agencies.
