Subject
Summary:

GAO found that the C-17 Globemaster aircraft accomplished everything it was asked to do while it was deployed in Bosnia. In particular, the C-17 was used to satisfy the Army's need for a high-capacity, short-distance air transport to move troops, equipment, and outsize cargo. However, the aircraft was not called upon to perform many tasks that it has had difficulty doing, or did not do, during testing. These include several tasks that the Army considers important, such as landing on short, wet runways of about 3,000 feet; performing airdrops of both troops and equipment; or handling routine medical evacuations. At the end of fiscal year 1996, the Pentagon had spent $20.5 billion to develop and purchase 28 C-17s; it plans to buy a total of 120 C-17s at an estimated cost of $43 billion.
