Based on current delivery schedule, it is unlikely that there will be enough pilots trained before all 159 UH-60s are delivered. #DOD runs risk of wasting US taxpayers dollars to purchase aircraft the #AAF and Special Mission Wing cannot fly or maintain sigar.mil/pdf/audits/SIG…

#DOD has acknowledged that UH-60 has performance limitations when compared with the MI-17, which can fly higher and carry more passengers. However, #DOD reports that most missions the #AAF flies do not need additional capacity provided by MI-17 sigar.mil/pdf/audits/SIG…

#TAAC-Air's basing plan includes locating six UH-60s in Shindand, Herat Province, where there is currently no U.S. or coalition military presence, despite #DOD ban on U.S. contractors working where there is not U.S. or coalition control sigar.mil/pdf/audits/SIG…

Lack of #Afghan maintenance personnel limits the locations where UH-60s can operate because #DOD policy bars U.S. contractors from working where there is no U.S. or coalition control sigar.mil/pdf/audits/SIG…

#CSTC-A's decision to require that UH-60 aircraft qualification training occur only in #Afghanistan has created a bottleneck for pilots who completed Initial Entry Rotary Wing training outside Afghanistan sigar.mil/pdf/audits/SIG…

#CSTC-A originally intended to train 477 UH-60 pilots, but now plans to train 320 over next five years. Command may not achieve 320-pilot mark because the number of pilots going through training is already falling behind planned class sizes sigar.mil/pdf/audits/SIG…

#DOD estimates that cost of contractor maintenance for UH-60s from 2019 - 2023 will be more than $2.8 billion. Cost likely to grow the longer it takes #Afghan Air Force & Special Mission Wing maintenance capabilities to develop sigar.mil/pdf/audits/SIG…
