Congressman Hamadeh’s legislation will reinforce and extend President Trump’s 2030 timeline
Introduce legislation to reinforce and extend the Air Force's A-10 timeline through 2030.
Occurrences
Evidence
The House office says Rep. Abraham Hamadeh has begun work on his BRRRRT Act, and that the legislation would "reinforce and extend President Trump’s 2030 timeline" for the A-10, increase the minimum number of A-10s in operational inventory, and support training and sustainment pipelines.
Air & Space Forces reported that the Air Force is extending the life of the A-10 Thunderbolt II until at least 2030, pausing its retirement plan amid active combat in the Middle East, after an announcement by Air Force Secretary Troy Meink.
Assessments
Hamadeh's office announced during his current House term that he had begun work on the BRRRRT Act and described legislative provisions intended to reinforce and extend the A-10 timeline through 2030. That is material movement toward the promise, but the available evidence does not independently show that the bill was formally introduced in Congress or enacted. The Air Force separately announced an A-10 extension to 2030, but that executive outcome appears to have been completed by Defense/Air Force officials rather than by Hamadeh's introduced legislation, so it should not receive full delivery credit for the specific promise to introduce legislation.
