摘要

The Pentagon's Fiscal 2010 budget proposal to move the C-27 Spartan program solely under the Air Force, and no longer have a joint Army-USAF initiative, leaves open the question of how many of these tactical airlifters are needed and how this decision will impact the National Guard.rnThe 2010 budget request trimmed the projected C-27 buy from 78 to 38. The 38 C-27s are intended to replace the Army's 42 elderly C-23 Sherpas. But testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee May 21, Air Force Secretary Michael B. Donley said the final number has yet to be decided.rnDonley said he sees 38 C-27s "as the floor, not the ceiling." Past studies have shown that the 78 number—54 would have gone to the Army, while the Air Force would have received 24—is still a valid need, he said.rnAt the same hearing, Chief of Staff Gen. Norton A. Schwartz said the Air Force would soon present a report on the issue to Deputy Secretary of Defense William J. Lynn. However, this may not be for public consumption initially, he noted.rnSecretary of Defense Robert M. Gates justified the smaller C-27 fleet size during a May 13 hearing of the House Armed Services Committee, saying there is excess capacity within the C-130 Hercules transport fleet that makes a smaller C-27 fleet possible.rnHe said there are "over 200 C-130s that are available and uncommitted" that could fulfill the tactical airlift mission. Further, he noted, "The C-27 has half the payload of a C-130 and costs two-thirds as much; it can use exactly one percent more runways or airstrips than the C-130."rnThe notion that cutting C-27 numbers would hinder the National Guard from performing its homeland mission is "not sustainable," Gates added.

Donley）表示最终数字尚待确定。丹利说，他认为38架C-27是“地板，而不是天花板”。他说，过去的研究表明，仍然有78人的号码，其中54人会上飞机，而空军会收到24人。在同一听证会上，参谋长诺顿·施瓦茨（Norton A. Schwartz）说空军不久将向国防部副部长威廉·J·林恩（William J. Lynn）提交有关此问题的报告。他指出，然而，这最初可能不是供公众消费。国防部长罗伯特·盖茨在5月13日众议院军事委员会的听证会上说出较小的C-27机队是合理的，他说C-他说，有130架大力神的运输机队使较小的C-27机队成为可能。他说，“有200余架C-130可供使用和未投入使用”，可以完成战术空运任务。他还指出，“ C-27的有效载荷是C-130的一半，而成本却是C-130的三分之二；它可以比C-130多使用1％的跑道或飞机跑道。”盖茨补充说，有27个数字将阻碍国民警卫队执行其国土任务“不可持续”。
