This case study evaluates the future of joint intra-theater tactical airlift and distribution, with emphasis on the need for a Future Cargo Aircraft (FCA)/Light Cargo Aircraft (LCA), and the struggle between the US Army and the US Air Force for the intra-theater light cargo tactical airlift mission. The intent of this study is to evaluate the secondary and primary problems of the military's intra-theater tactical airlift gap and address the premises and validity of each issue. Secondly, this case study will evaluate internal and external influence affecting the primary problem and the future environment, in which a light tactical aircraft will be required. Thirdly, this evaluation will analyze key players behind the issue and analyze the perspective of the decision makers. Finally, this study will provide pros and cons of alternate solutions and provide a recommended solution, along with the justification and risk associated.
