Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego says he got further assurance from the top General in the Air Force about the base’s future.
WASHINGTON, DC — There’s more good news about a mission to sustain Davis-Monthan after the Air Force retires the A-10.
Representative Gallego questioned Air Force Chief of Staff General Charles Brown about plans for the base during a hearing by the House Armed Services Committee. The Air Force plans to bring to DM new aircraft and new missions, including what the Air Force calls a Special Operations Power Projection Wing.“I'm the former chairman of Intel special operations. The future fight, which I hope doesn't happen when it comes to China, is going to require a lot of special operations capabilities. The Air Force is going to be very key to that.
Gallego served in the Marines as an infantryman. He says A-10s helped him and his unit in some dangerous moments—and he thinks the A-10 should still have a role in conflicts that suit the A-10’s abilities. But as of now the Air Force plans to retire all A-10s in six years to make room in the budget for other programs.
