These forces and their related training, logistic, and administrative support components will be manned in 1964 by an average active duty military personnel strength of 864,966 and 263,830 civilian personnel. Examples of the changes occurring in the force structure of the Air Force are found in the strategic field. During 1964 the force of combat ready B-52 heavy bomber units will continue at the level reached in 1963, and most of these will be equipped with the Hound Dog air-to-ground missile. A further reduction in the B-47 medium bomber force will be accompanied by the activation of additional Titan II and Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile squadrons. A greater poststrike capability is being developed through the increased dispersal of forces and modernization of weapons systems entering the active inventory. Provision has also been made for continuing "low level" and airborne alert indoctrination training in the strategic bomber force. The air defense area reflects some changes in 1964. There will be some reduction in manned air defense aircraft units. The current SAGE direction center pro423,417 443,672 gram will be adjusted by the end of 1964.

An overall improved posture is programed for the tactical forces. Manned aircraft units will receive the more modern F-4C and F-105 aircraft as replacements for the older F-84's and F-100's. A supplemental appropriation for 1963 is anticipated for separate transmittal. 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 services of the Military Air Transport Service which is financed by the Air Force industrial fund. While there is an overall increase in flying hours from 1963 to 1964, there are numerous variations in the aircraft type and model composition of the total activity which result in cost reductions. Generally, the types of aircraft which will have increased usage, such as the F-105, T-37, and T-38, are less expensive to operate than the aircraft which will phase out, such as the B-47 and KC-97. The following table compares the principal program elements supported by these funds: These flying hours provide for the training of strategic, tactical, and defense units and the flying training of individuals for subsequent assignment to flying units. 2. Logistical support. This activity finances the operation of the Air Force depot system, including the costs related to procurement, storage, distribution, and maintenance of Air Force materiel. The composition of the Air Force continues to change in 1964 with greater emphasis on missiles, sophistication of the warning network, and higher performance planes in the aircraft inventory. These all affect the logistic support workload. The current concept provides for performing depot maintenance on missiles at the operational site, with only the compo The 1964 estimate includes $146.5 million for certain replenishment spare parts and materials to be purchased from the Defense Stock Fund as a result of the transfer of initial procurement responsibility to the Defense Supply Agency. Funds for the procurement of these items have previously been included in various Air Force procurement appropriations. 3. Training support. This provides for the basic, technical, and professional training of airmen, cadets, and officers as contrasted with the training of combat units financed under Operational support. Operating costs of the Air Force Reserve program are also included. The decrease in technical training loads is related to lower Air Force military personnel strength in 1964. The undergraduate pilot training load increase is associated with cockpit requirements as computed in relation to the force requirements necessitating a need for more pilots. Major elements of the Air Force training program are tabulated below: ing upon the particular weapon system involved, missile sites generally consist of a number of launch stations dispersed at varying distances from a launch control center. Each launch complex is self-sufficient with respect to electrical power and communications to assure that the highly complex equipment installed is in a state of constant readiness. This program also finances that portion of the Military Air Transport Service airlift not financed under industrial fund tariffs. This airlift includes joint Army airborne training, medical evacuation, and special air missions. The 1963 and 1964 estimates include funds for the Alaska Communication System, which provides telegraph and long-distance telephone service in Alaska for Department of Defense activities, other agencies of the Government and the general public. Heretofore, this activity has been financed by a separate appropriation. 5. Medical support. This activity covers the cost of medical care of Air Force personnel, active and retired, and their families, and includes the operation and maintenance of hospitals and other medical-treatment facilities. It cost the Air Force $25.4 million in 1962 for the care of dependents of military personnel in civilian hospitals, and these costs are estimated at $24.5 million in 1963 and $25.5 million in 1964. Selected major workload items are shown in the following table: 49,670 45,689 44,270 Service schools: Active duty..

Operational support. This activity provides for the operating requirements at air base level of all the combat forces, the several operational support commands, SAGE, DEWLINE, BMEWS, and ballistic missile squadrons. This includes on-the-line maintenance of aircraft and weapons, upkeep of the airfields, operation of the control towers, maintenance of troop housing, and all other expenses necessary at base level to keep the forces operationally ready. The following table shows comparative numbers of major installations supported under this program detailed by category of forces: 6. Servicewide support.-This program provides for the operations of Air Force and major command headquarters, air attaché and mission offices, intelligence and security activities, and for the leasing of commercial communication systems and networks. Costs of new and improved communications are expected to be partially offset by savings from systems consolidations and improved contracting procedures. 7. Contingencies.-These are extraordinary expenses approved and certified by the Secretary of the Air Force.

Intradepartmental activities formerly reflected as a separate activity are now reflected herein. Except for these activity changes, costs for the Office of the Secretary of Defense will continue at substantially the same level in 1964 as in 1963. The Joint Chiefs of Staff Organization reflects a slight increase in 1964 to strengthen the operational control of the unified and specified commands and for special studies involving a number of classified high priority projects. Object Classification (in thousands of dollars) Appropriation (adjusted). Proposed supplemental due to pay increases... This appropriation provides the financial resources required by the Secretary of Defense for the support of his immediate office, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and activities and agencies of the Department of Defense which operate directly under the control of the Secretary of Defense. 1. Supply operations.-The Defense Supply Agency was established on November 6, 1961, as a single supply agency under the Secretary of Defense to provide common supply and service support to the military departments in the continental United States. It manages inventories for nine materiel categories: fuel, food, clothing, medical, general, industrial, construction, automotive and electronics. This management involves the maintenance of catalogs, technical data, and inventory control of items. representing over $2.7 billion of inventory. In addition, the agency performs central procurement, including preparation of specifications, contracting and contract administration, inspection, standardization, and industrial support measures for current procurement and mobilization. Other agency functions include the operation of a distribution system for the receipt, storage, and issue of items in the nine materiel categories for the support of the military forces. Distribution of items of supply, including general mobilization reserve stocks, will be made by principal distribution depots, specialized support depots and direct supply support points. The agency will operate five supply depots, the Logistics Services Center, including the Surplus Bidders Control Office, the Surplus Sales Offices, and the Traffic Management Service.
