Proposal Statement
Recommend modifying this item as active duty extended range C-17 transfers are unplanned for the foreseeable future. Change recommendation to "Modify each ANG C-17 Non-Extended Range aircraft to Extended Range configuration."
Recommendation Information
CRITICAL NEED FOR SUPPORT: All ANG Non-Extended Range Fuel Tank C-17s lack the range and mission execution flexibility needed to support airlift operations. Strategic missions would require utilization of scarce air refueling assets or necessitate additional refueling stops.
STATES IMPACTED: All ANG C-17 Aircraft at CONUS and OCONUS sites
MISSION CRITICAL NEED: To effectively operate long range, strategic airlift missions, ANG C-17 aircraft require extended range fuel tanks. Approximately 50% of the ANG fleet are Non-Extended Range Tank equipped. Priority missions are tasked against Extended Range equipped aircraft, therefore creating a lack of parity with active duty fleet and faster airframe wear rate on current Extended Range equipped aircraft versus non-extended range equipped aircraft .
FUNDING JUSTIFICATION: Incorporating Extended Range Fuel Tank capability across the ANG C-17 fleet would enable more efficient, effective missions and equalize the airframe usage across the fleet. USAF FUNDING TO DATE: Air Mobility Command had previously funded a Extended Range Fuel Tank modification program but ceased funding the program a number of years ago prior to transferring C-17s to ANG and AFRC unit equipped sites.
