Require some retired A-10s to be preserved in rapidly recoverable condition at AMARG in Arizona for future surge capacity.
Occurrences
Evidence
The House office says Hamadeh began work on a BRRRRT Act that would require some retired A-10s to be preserved in rapidly recoverable condition at AMARG in Arizona for future surge capacity.
Congress.gov’s index shows Hamadeh cosponsored H.R. 1851, a bill to preserve and recapitalize Air Force fighter aircraft capabilities and its reserve components.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Hamadeh publicly began work on the BRRRRT Act and advanced related fighter-aircraft legislation during his current House term, including a proposed requirement that some retired A-10s be preserved in rapidly recoverable condition at AMARG. However, the record provided and current public information do not show that this requirement has been enacted, incorporated into binding defense law, or implemented by the Air Force. Because the promise was a federal legislative/policy outcome and only a serious attempt is shown, it is not delivered, but merits an effort badge.
