About Troops in Contact

Mission: Save Close Air Support (CAS)

The Problem: the Air Force is cutting Close Air Support and breaking faith with troops.

In the 2023 budget the Air Force revealed a 5-year plan to eliminate its A-10 CAS aircraft without an adequate replacement and to cut TACPs/ JTACs (Terminal Air Control Party Specialists/ Joint Terminal Attack Controllers/ Air 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.
