Fighter Force Preservation Act of 2023
HR 6735, the Fighter Force Preservation Act of 2023, requires the Air Force Secretary to develop a 12-year strategic plan for maintaining the tactical fighter force structure. The plan must detail specific actions for aircraft procurement, unit activation/deactivation, maintaining operational readiness during changes, and potential use of new capabilities like Collaborative Combat Aircraft and synthetic training systems. It mandates that the plan address the mix of aircraft needed to meet global operational requirements, with unit-level details for each active and reserve fighter unit. The Air Force must submit this comprehensive plan to Congress by April 1, 2024, in unclassified form with a potential classified annex. This bill directly affects Air Force leadership's planning processes for managing its fighter fleet.
