Unique to the C-40C is the capability to change its configuration to accommodate from 42 to 111 passengers.<ref name="US Air Force"/> The C-40C replaced three C-22s (a militarized Boeing 727) operated by the [[Air National Guard]] and [[National Guard Bureau]] to airlift personnel. The C-40C was the first military aircraft to be acquired in this as an off-the-shelf aircraft for the Department of Defense.
