Candidate Recommendation #USAF-0124
Candidate Recommendation: Realign Dover AFB, DE. The twelve C-17s originally
programmed for the 436th Airlift Wing will be redirected to the 62d Airlift Wing, McChord AFB,
WA (6 PAA) and the 437th Airlift Wing, Charleston AFB, SC (2 PAA). Four aircraft will revert
to backup inventory.
Justification: McChord and Charleston are, respectively, major west and east coast mobility
hubs. This recommendation brings each base to the optimal unit size while simultaneously
enabling the Air Force's Future Total Force through additions to the active / reserve associations
at each base. Of active duty airlift bases, Charleston ranks well above average and McChord
above average in military value (as measured by the airlift MCI).
Payback: (Criterion 5): The total estimated one-time cost to the Department of Defense to
implement this recommendation is $16.0 million. The net of all costs to the Department during
the implementation period is a cost of $15.0 million. Annual recurring costs after
implementation are $1.0 million, with no payback expected. The net present value of the cost to
the Department over 20 years is $23.0 million.
Impacts:
Economic Impact on Communities (Criterion 6): Assuming no economic recovery, this
recommendation could result in a maximum potential reduction of 862 jobs (460 direct jobs and
402 indirect jobs) over 2006-2011 period in the Dover economic area, which is 1.15 percent of
economic area employment.
Impact on Community Infrastructure (Criterion 7): A review of the community attributes
indicates no issues regarding the ability of the infrastructure of the communities to support
missions, forces and personnel.
Environmental Impact (Criterion 8): Maintenance area for emissions. Potential conformity
determination required.Deliberative Document - For Discussion Purposes Only - Do Not Release Under FOIA
