Air National Guard Squadron Preservation Act of 2025

HR 2327 (Air National Guard Squadron Preservation Act of 2025) requires the Air Force to replace legacy fighter aircraft in Air National Guard units with newer advanced capability models (like Block 70+ F-16s or F-15EX) and fifth-generation aircraft. It mandates continued procurement of these aircraft until all affected units complete the transition, with specific reporting requirements to Congress. The bill directs a feasibility study on advanced fighter aircraft needs and requires a GAO review of procurement challenges, along with annual progress reports. This directly affects Air National Guard fighter squadrons still using older aircraft as of the bill’s enactment date.
