La misión TACAMO, o "Take Charge And Move Out" (TACAMO), actualmente brinda apoyo de mando y control aerotransportado para las fuerzas de disuasión nuclear de los Estados Unidos y actualmente la cumplen los E-6B Mercury "Doomsday Planes", 16 de los cuales están en uso. Al recapitalizarse con el nuevo EC-130J TACAMO, la Armada regresará al futuro, ya que el Mercury reemplazó previamente a otra variante del Hércules, el EC-130Q de la era de la Guerra Fría. Sin embargo, la misión se reducirá y el EC-130J proporcionará exclusivamente mando y control para los submarinos de misiles balísticos de la Armada .
el EC-130J también expandiría drásticamente la cantidad de aeródromos en los que el TACAMO podría estar alerta y operar, haciéndolos más sobrevivientes y menos predecibles que el E-6
El retiro completo de los E-6B requeriría entonces un sustituto para la misión ABNCP, quizás adaptando aún más los EC-130J o implementando una nueva plataforma por completo. Este último podría incluso indicar que la misión ABNCP se transfiere de la Marina a la Fuerza Aérea.
Potencialmente, el Centro de Operaciones Aerotransportadas Sobrevivientes de la Fuerza Aérea , que se está desarrollando principalmente como un reemplazo para la flota de aviones E-4B Nightwatch de la Fuerza Aérea, también conocida como Centros Nacionales de Operaciones Aerotransportadas (NAOC), podría proporcionar un seguimiento para la misión ABNCP.

This Request for Information (RFI) is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal and should not be construed as a commitment by the Government to award a contract as a result of this request for information. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, NJ is seeking sources for the procurement of a proven solution for a Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) mat system that can support United States Marine Corps (USMC) rotary and tilt-rotor aircraft.
The Expeditionary Airfield (EAF) Concept is a shore based, aviation weapons support system which permits deployment of landing force aircraft within effective range of ground forces. This concept allows for the construction of portable, reusable, forward-deployed airfields which can be assembled in a building block concept for the rapid introduction of air power. These airfields are currently constructed using AM2 Mat aluminum-alloy panels. The AM2 Mat expanses can be assembled to form an airfield's runways, taxiways, parking areas, and other areas required for aircraft operations and maintenance.

Independientemente de eso, a mi me parece que tiene recorrido, no se en la Navy, pero en mi opinión en las dimensiones en que se maneja ahora se podría comer todo el segmento hasta las 10 toneladas e imagino que a mucho menos precio.

The budget book says the five squadrons include a total of 25 EA-18Gs which would be placed in storage at the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group at Davis-Montham Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, half in fiscal 2024 and half in fiscal 2025. The cuts also would free up approximately 1,020 officer and enlisted personnel. The Navy estimates the savings over the Future Years Defense Plan would be 807.8 million.
The Navy’s five expeditionary VAQ squadrons are all based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington: VAQs 131, 132, 134, 135, and 138. The Navy’s only reserve VAQ squadron, VAQ-209, also has been used in an expeditionary role.
The carrier-deployable VAQ squadrons are VAQs 130, 133, 136, 137, 139, 140, 141, and 142, with another, VAQ-144, set for establishment in October. All are based at Whidbey Island, except for VAQ-141, which is based at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, as part of the forward-deployed Carrier Air Wing Five for USS Ronald Reagan.
