The Issue
The Air National Guard C-130 Hercules fleet requires continued funding for modernization and recapitalization to ensure its aircraft can successfully engage in overseas contingency operations and respond to homeland emergencies well into the future.
Recommendation
- The National Guard of the United States (NGAUS), strongly urges Congress to designate at least 8 new C-130J aircraft to the Air National Guard
- Continue funding for C-130H modernization efforts
