The MCS found that projected capabilities are adequate to achieve U.S. objectives with an acceptable level of risk--that is, current U.S. inventory of aircraft, ships, prepositioned assets, and other capabilities are sufficient, in conjunction with host nation support, and assuming planned investments take place. The Senate report accompanying the bill for the fiscal year 2005 Defense Authorization Act required GAO to report on the adequacy and completeness of the MCS. GAO assessed the extent to which the MCS met generally accepted research standards that this type of study would be expected to meet to be considered sound and complete. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-938/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-938.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-938/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-938.pdf GAO-06-938 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-938 Other Written Product GAO-06-938; Defense Transportation: Study Limitations Raise Questions about the Adequacy and Completeness of the Mobility Capabilities Study and Report; Defense capabilities Documentation Evaluation methods Military forces Reports management Standards Strategic planning Transportation C-17 Aircraft C-5 Aircraft DOD Mobility Capabilities Study C-17A Aircraft C-X Aircraft Globemaster Aircraft C-5A Aircraft Galaxy Aircraft C-5B Aircraft C-5D Aircraft
