ADC outlines airlift woes
due to Pacific commitment
The Aerospace Defense Command (ADC) has issued a statement out-
lining serious problems that have arisen in the movement of household
goods to overseas areas, including Keflavik.
"Concurrent with the 1971 summer shipping season,a number of prob-
lems have occurred that have and
will continue to impact the expe-
ditious movement of personal
property world-wide," the message
said.
In other words, the West Coast
I.L.W.U. strike, intensified cus-
toms inspections, Western Union
strike, railroad strikes, an an-
ticipated International Long-
shoremen's Association work stop-
page on the East and Gulf Coasts
have contributed to the slowdown
in movement of personal property
and household goods to Keflavik
and other overseas areas.
In addition, a heavy overgen-
eration of airlift requirements
in the Pacific area has created
backlogs of household goods and
unaccompanied baggage of serious
proportions at all sea and West-
ern Pacific aerial ports. The
The naval station is doing its
best for beautification. Are you
doing your part?
Military Airlift Command (MAC)
has substantially increased its
airlift capability in the Pacific
to reduce these backolgs and has
obtained a large segment of a-
vailable commercial airlift capa-
bility.
While this has been productive
in moving the cargo in the MAC
channels, it has reduced commer-
cial abilities to move these goods
in other than MAC channels. The
daily accumulation of shipments
has resulted in the vast majority
of household goods arriving in the
Continental United States from
the Pacific areas will not meet
the required delivery dates.
This action in the Pacific,
with its concentration to allevi-
ate the backlog problem, has re-
duced the airlift capability on
the East Coast, thereby causing
longer delivery times for person-
al property and household goods
to and from Atlantic overseas
areas.
