Even as the U.S. Air Force works to retire its fleet of A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, Warthogs are still proving useful in the ongoing fight against ISIS.

Hegseth on Friday signed a memo on “Initiating the Workforce Acceleration and Recapitalization Initiative” that was directed to senior Pentagon leadership, combatant commands, and defense agency and field activity directors.
