SUBJECT : Commander's Report, Operatio~=
BEFERENC;-; : Dispatch to Chief,. DPD from Cotmtsndar 25X1 A
UCIA-OOH, dated 7 March 1961; Sub4 as
1. As requested this memorandum dews with paragraphs 3 and 12. h.
of subject report.
2. Paragraph 3 raises the question as to relative merits of MATS
and Troop Carrier Aircraft in support of fast me concepts. In
discussions with Colonel Geary's office, MATS has the greater capability
and is much more desirable in the support of fast move operations. All
such movements carry a Priority 1 designation and the aircraft core rider
is in contact with his headquarters at all times. There is no reason, in
the event of an abnormal delay, td y the aircraft comas .er cannot request
a replacement aircraft to assure meeting the operational requirement. To
aid in accomplishing better support of fast move operations it is desirable
that a date be established as a target date for the arrival of support
aircraft. This then gives M a bettor feel for the backup needed in the
event of aircraft being grounded on route for abnormal maintenance.
3. With respect to paragraph 12. h. of reference, this office concurs
in the recommendation and such procedures will be a part of future operations
Orders.
