1 Reimbursements from non-Federal sources are principally sales of surplus U.S. Government property and sales to individuals and foreign governments of goods and services, including subsistence of hospital patients, surcharges on commissary sales, and unofficial telephone services (10 U.S.C. 9621, 9625, 9626, 9627; 22 U.S.C. 2315, 2316). Financial requirements for this appropriation have been influenced by significant force structure adjustments. The principal changes in the strategic forces in 1966 include the increased numbers of Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile squadrons which will become operational. The estimates also reflect the final phaseout of the B-47 medium bombers and the elimination of all Atlas and Titan I missile squadrons. It is planned to continue "low-level" and airborne alert indoctrination training in the strategic bomber force. Despite some numerical reductions in the active air defense fighter-interceptor forces in the United States, overall requirements are satisfied by closer integration of Air National Guard squadrons. One-third of the units continue to be maintained on instant alert, requiring a 75-hour workweek for combat crews, and a dispersal program is being implemented. SAGE System capabilities will continue at the current level. Improvements in the air defense area are continuing, including further upgrading of the Back-up Interceptor Control System (BUIC) which started in 1965. phase-out activities at three depots scheduled for closing in subsequent years. 3. Training support.-This provides for basic, technical, professional and flying training of individuals. Operating costs of the Air Force Reserve program are also included. 4. Operational support.-Facilities are operated and maintained to support the strategic, air defense, tactical, and transport/troop carrier missions of the Air Force. Costs cover on-the-line maintenance of aircraft and weapons, maintenance and operation of installations, missile sites, airfields and allied facilities, as well as other expenses necessary to assure and maintain operational readiness of the combat forces. This activity reflects adjustments in programs, forces, personnel, and weapon systems as well as changes in base and installation utilization. The lower funding level in 1966 is largely due to base closures and phase-out of Atlas and Titan I missiles squadrons. This activity also finances the air defense surveillance, warning and control systems; and airlift for joint Army airborne training and mobility exercises. In addition, there are included separately identifiable funds for the Alaska Communications System which provides telegraph and long-distance telephone service in Alaska to civilians as well as to the Department of Defense and other Government activities. 5. Medical support.-This activity finances the Air Force cost of medical care for military personnel and their families. 6. Servicewide support.-This program provides for the operation of Air Force and major command headquarters, air attaché and mission offices, intelligence and security activities, and the leasing of commercial communication systems and networks. 7. Contingencies.--These are extraordinary expenses approved and certified by the Secretary of the Air Force. Identification code The capability of the tactical forces will continue to improve in 1966, principally as a result of nearly doubling the number of squadrons equipped with the all-purpose 07-10-3400-0-1-051 F-4C fighter aircraft. In addition to force structure changes, other program considerations will influence the activities financed by this appropriation. Increased emphasis has been placed on the use of newly developed electronics equipment in such areas as command and control techniques and capabilities, communications, warning, weather, and intelligence. These and similar activities require contracting for many specialized services beyond the capability of Air Force personnel. 1. Aircraft fuel and oil.-This program provides for aviation fuel and oil to support the operation of all Air Force and Air Force Reserve aircraft except those assigned to research and development activities, the Air National Guard, and that portion of the airlift service of the Military Air Transport Service which is financed by the Air Force industrial fund. There are several significant changes in the composition of the aircraft inventory and activity rates which result in an overall decrease in flying hours and costs from 1965 to 1966. The F-105, F/RF-4C, C-130, and T-38 aircraft will have increased usage, but this is more than offset by the flying hour decreases for the B-47, KC-97, F-84, KB-50 and various noncombat aircraft. 2. Logistical support. This activity finances the depotlevel maintenance of materiel and operation of the Air Force supply system. 1966 estimates reflect initial 11.1 11.3 11.5 Object Classification (in thousands of dollars) AIR FORCE Personnel compensation: Total personnel compensation........

The Agency is also responsible for the administration and supervision of the Department of Defense coordinated procurement programs, the Federal catalog program, the defense materiel utilization program and the defense surplus property disposal program. Obligations increase in 1966 because provision has been made for management improvement programs, including (1) the engineering data retrieval system which will permit the rapid retrieval and interchange of engineering data between the Department of Defense and industrial activities engaged in research and production engineering; (2) revision of Federal item identification guides which will result in significant reductions in the number of new items entering the Federal catalog system, reduction in new procurement, and increased utilization of inventory; (3) further consolidation of the inactive industrial equipment storage facilities which will permit greater utilization of this equipment and (4) provision for the Defense Supply Agency's share of rapid voice and digital communications. 2.
