C-130 Report

The Government Accountability Office issued a report today validating the Air Force's analysis and forward planning for the C-130.

The service in April sent Congress a report detailing its plans for recapitalizing and shifting units within its C-130 fleet. The Air Force report, which was directed by Congress in the Fiscal Year 2015 National Defense Authorization Act, highlights differences between the service's past force-structure plans and its current outlook.

GAO's July 13 report validates the service's analysis, stating that it met lawmakers' reporting requirements.
