Abstract
Developed in this paper is a mathematical model for optimizing the airlift capability of the US Air Force (USAF) in a large-scale deployment operation. Given a number of airbases from which a number of cargos of various sizes and weights are to be airlifted to a number of destinations using a specific fleet of military aircrafts subject to equipment airlift capability and aircrew availability constraints, the model assigns the most appropriate fleet type and determines the number of aircrafts required for each flight segment in such a way to minimize the overall cost of the airlift operation.
