Bill Summary

A resolution to urge the United States Congress to adopt the language of Section 143 of House Bill 3838 of the 119th Congress, the Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution and Delivery and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, to strengthen protections against the early retirement of the A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft fleet.

AI Summary

This resolution urges the United States Congress to adopt the language of Section 143 from House Bill 3838, which would provide protections against the early retirement of the A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft fleet. The A-10, a close air support aircraft also known as the "Warthog," is currently operated by the 127th Wing at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan. The Air Force plans to begin divesting these aircraft in 2026, which could create a significant gap in fighter mission capabilities, as the replacement F-15EX fighters are not scheduled to arrive until 2028. The proposed language would limit the Secretary of the Air Force's ability to retire A-10 aircraft or reduce the total inventory below 162 aircraft, and would require a detailed briefing to Congressional Armed Services Committees about the divestment plan. This resolution aims to ensure a smooth transition between aircraft missions, maintain workforce readiness, and preserve fighter capacity during a period of global instability. Additionally, the resolution calls for transmitting copies of the resolution to key Congressional leadership, including the Speaker of the House, Senate Majority Leader, and Michigan's congressional delegation.
