| 摘要： | Incorporating successful business practices from the FedEx Corporation's commercial air cargo system can increase productivity and effectiveness for U.S. Central Command's intratheater airlift system. The goal of this academic comparison is to recommend strategies for improvement and courses of action to make the intratheater airlift system more effective at supporting the warfighter in future conflicts. Although research on improving the intratheater airlift system is not new, this topic remains relevant as a continual problem area for the Joint Force Commander. Many researchers have improved specific aspects of the intratheater airlift system. Unfortunately, several problems persist. The intratheater airlift system remains plagued with inefficient business practices, misunderstandings of how the system works, or what happens during the execution phase. Additional intratheater airlift problem areas include: the Air Force 120 day deployment cycle decreases overall productivity, incorrectly configured cargo pallets decreases aircraft utilization rates, falsely prioritized cargo manipulates the system in hopes to guarantee a faster delivery, and the overall intratheater airlift system is poorly managed by an inept logistical computer network. Furthermore, disconnected ideas between Army and Air Force cultures appear to amplify most of the major problems. A specific example addressed in this research paper is how the two Services struggle over allocation and for control of the C-27J Joint Cargo Aircraft. To some extent, the other services have lost trust in the Air Force's ability to perform its supportive function involving intratheater airlift. |
