The Fighter Force Preservation and Recapitalization Act of 2025 is designed to enhance and sustain the fighter aircraft capabilities of the U.S. Air Force, including its reserve components. The legislation aims to ensure that the Air Force maintains a sufficient number of modern fighter aircraft to meet operational demands while facilitating the transition to newer models. A central provision of the act mandates that the Air Force must maintain a minimum of 1,900 fighter aircraft, with at least 1,200 allocated to reserve components.
