The Senator from Georgia is quite correct in his observation and assessment and our committee has urged the Department to move forward with its economic analysis of engine alternatives for this critical fleet of aircraft. The Senator from Georgia should be proud of the 116th wing of the Georgia Air National Guard, as the work that this integrated wing performs on a daily basis is responsible for saving many soldiers' lives. As he stated, the E-8C JointSTARS fleet provides critical airborne battle management command and control.
