What is CRAF?

A unique and significant part of the nation\'s mobility resources is the Civil Reserve Air Fleet. Selected aircraft from U.S. airlines, contractually committed to CRAF, support Department of Defense airlift requirements in emergencies when the need for airlift exceeds the capability of military aircraft.

The long-range international section consists of passenger and cargo aircraft capable of transoceanic operations.

Medium-sized passenger and cargo aircraft make up the short-range international section supporting near offshore airlift requirements.
