FOC is achieved when the C-17 Globemaster facilities and FOC related milestones are completed. The majority of these milestones are forecast to be earlier than originally planned and the last milestone is "Maintenance Training Device commissioned" which is forecast to be completed by January 2011. Therefore, FOC is also predicted to be achieved by January 2011 ahead of schedule.
