In the FY23 Budget the Air Force revealed a 5-year plan eliminate its A-10 CAS aircraft without an adequate replacement and cut Joint Terminal Air Controllers (JTACS/ Air to Ground integrators) by 50%.  If successful, this plan would kill the CAS profession and cripple America’s CAS capability.  Ground troops would be supported, if at all, by CAS amateurs in a small expensive fleet of fragile aircraft that are far less effective.  In Low Intensity Conflict, that will cost lives.  In Major Combat Operations, it risks losing battles.  We need your help to stop the CAS cuts in the FY24 budget. 

Who Should Care

1.  Families who expect their Sons and Daughters to get the best support when they fight for our country
2.  Soldiers who put their lives at risk on the battlefield
3. Commanders who must accept additional risk to mission without effective CAS
4. Veterans that don't want to see past mistakes repeated
5. Constituents asking why we're spending $50Bn to replace A-10s with F-35s that are far less effective
6. CAS pilots and JTACs ​

Fortunately, our republic works pretty well here.  We were successful in stopping similar cuts from 2014 - 2021.  In 2022, the Air Force again started efforts to cut A-10s and JTACs.  If you help us get the word out to Congress, they'll listen and act.  ​
