Green Berets and Warthogs in Combat INCREDIBLE Story

Jeff and Mike share intimate details about a firefight where close air support from the A-10 Warthog was critical to helping save Jeff and his fellow Green Bret lives. 

You have to hear the story to believe it! And this is just one of many situations where close air support has saved lives.

PLEASE help save close air support by signing the petition so we don't lose this vital capability. It only takes 20 seconds to sign the petition:

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.
