evaluate potential for retention in Reserve and Guard wings
Require a review of whether A-10s should be retained in Reserve and Guard wings.
Occurrences
Evidence
The press release says Hamadeh's BRRRRT Act "will require" the Air Force to "evaluate potential for retention in Reserve and Guard wings" and to submit a report on the A-10's use, modernization, and future role.
GovInfo shows Hamadeh introduced H.R. 8331 on April 16, 2026 and that it was referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. The bill text in the GovInfo record is the official introduced version and the action record does not show enactment.
The media page repeats the April 22, 2026 BRRRRT Act announcement and again describes the measure as requiring a look at the feasibility of retention in Reserve and Guard wings for A-10s.
Assessments
Hamadeh introduced legislation in April 2026 that would require the Air Force to evaluate retaining A-10s in Reserve and Guard wings and report on the aircraft's future role. That is a concrete same-term legislative effort, but the record provided shows only introduction and committee referral, with no enactment or completed required review. Because the proposal appears pending rather than definitively failed, the promise is not yet delivered but remains unresolved.
