I don\u2019t have to tell you all what\u2019s happening out on the West Coast. They fly in the highest elevations and in the most challenging mountainous environments of any C-130 unit. Integral to their mission is flying the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) in support of the U.S. Forest Service. We know wildfire season is just upon us.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><u1_p><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">Upgrading the Nevada Air National Guard\u2019s C-130H fleet with C-130Js would have a substantial impact on their readiness and firefighting capabilities in Nevada and the western United States, where every year we are plagued by devastating fires.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">&nbsp;<u1_p><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">I was therefore discouraged that the Air Force was not considering MAFFS when evaluating base candidates for the C-130J, and even more disappointed when Reno was not selected. Ensuring that the Air National Guard is ready to assist and respond to these emergencies should be a priority for the Air Force as you consider where to base more capable aircraft.<\/span><\/span><\/span><u1_p><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">So, acting Secretary Roth, can you please explain to me this <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\">decision not to consider MAFFS when conducting this basing evaluation, particularly on the West Coast where [we have] more <span style=\"color:#0e101a\">fires, open terrain, and longer distances to travel than any other region in the lower 48?&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><u1_p><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">ROTH:&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#0e101a\">Senator, we\u2019ll take a look at that.
