The Persian Gulf War provides one of the most recent, comprehensive examples of cooperative efforts between the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army to move critical repair parts between theaters of operation. This paper asserts that systemic priority abuse by customer units contributed substantially to the materiel backlogs at the primary aerial ports of embarkation, caused misallocation of critical airlift assets, and needlessly delayed repair parts shipments to supported customers.

The Persian Gulf War provides one of the most recent, comprehensive examples of cooperative efforts between the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army to move critical repair parts between theaters of operation. This paper asserts that systemic priority abuse by customer units contributed substantially to the materiel backlogs at the primary aerial ports of embarkation, caused misallocation of critical airlift assets, and needlessly delayed repair parts shipments to supported customers. The study includes a brief overview of current requisition priority and transportation procedures; provides evidence of priority abuse during the Persian Gulf War; identifies and describes the primary reasons for priority abuse; assesses the impace of priority abuse on theater airlift and efforts to mitigate the problem; and examines current and emerging technologies for potential solutions. The study concludes that priority abuse resulted from a number of interrelated factors including lack of in-transit visbility, inadequate automation/communication architecture, and shortfalls in command supply discipline. The study recommends improved communications architecture to supplement fielding of the Global Control Network and the use of parameter controls.
