Denton Program (Transportation)
The Denton Program allows private U.S. citizens and U.S. based non-governmental
organizations to use space available on U.S. military cargo planes to transport humanitarian
items such as clothing, food, medical and educational supplies, agricultural
equipment and vehicles to countries in need. The program is jointly administered by
USAID, the Department of State (DOS), and the Department of Defense (DoD). In FY
2003, over 300,000 pounds of humanitarian goods were sent to seven countries
through the Denton program.
Since the Denton program is a space available program, it is impossible to predict
when transportation will materialize. Therefore, no guarantees can be made regarding
completion of a shipment. Although the program is active in most areas of the world,
U.S. military engagement in certain places can have an impact on the space that
becomes available.
