Program Description: The C-12 is militarized version of the FAA-type certificated Beechcraft aircraft. The C-12C (A200) and the C-12D (A200CT) are powered by twin Pratt & Whitney PT6A-41 turboprop engines. The C-12F (B200C) is powered by twin Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42 turboprop engines.

The aircraft utilized by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the Pacific Air Command (PACAF), and the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC). The aircraft are currently based at 3 Continental United States (CONUS) and 16 Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations (see below). The C-12 mission is to provide time-sensitive movement of personnel and cargo and provide test support. The following locations and aircraft will require full CLS service: Accra, Ghana: (1) C-12C/D Andrews AFB, MD: (2) C-12C/D Ankara, Turkey: (1) C-12C/D Bangkok, Thailand: (1) C-12C/D Bogota, Columbia: (1) C-12C/D Brasilia, Brazil: (1) C-12C/D Budapest, Hungary: (1) C-12C/D Buenos Aires, Argentina: (1) C-12C/D Cairo, Egypt: (1) C-12C/D Edwards AFB, CA: (4) C-12C/D Elmendorf AFB, AK: (2) C-12F Gaborone, Botswana: (1) C-12C/D Holloman AFB, NM: (1) C-12J Islamabad, Pakistan: (1) C-12C/D Manila, Philippines: (1) C-12C/D Nairobi, Kenya: (1) C-12C/D Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: (2) C-12C/D Tegucigalpa, Honduras: (1) C-12C/D Yokota AB, Japan: (3) C-12J NOTE : There are only five (5) military bases that host the C-12 aircraft.
