This bill would bar the Department of Defense from using funds in fiscal years 2027 through 2033 to retire or store A-10 attack aircraft in a way that drops the fleet below the level needed for operations, training, and testing. It would require the Air Force to keep at least 126 A-10s, unless the Secretary of Defense certifies that a fully capable replacement is ready. Retired A-10s meeting certain conditions would have to be kept in recoverable storage instead of being taken apart for parts. The bill also sets yearly pilot training minimums, requires training to stay at bases in Arizona and Nevada where practicable, restarts an A-10 demonstration team, and orders several plans, reports, and briefings, including on possible transfers to foreign partners.
