This report recommends that planners and others interested in airlift flow through airfields of various types and locations no longer use standard minimum times on ground (MOGs) or standard ground times but, instead, estimate the specific aircraft ground time and airfield capacity for each stopover by carefully considering the servicing, fueling, and loading operations needed for each type of mission stopping at each airfield, and the major ground resouces available at each airfield.
