Under the present program for a 95-group Air Force, he said, the U.S. will be able to muster only one-third of the tactical aviation it would need to repel an invasion of Western Europe. The U.S., he argued, needs a minimum of 50 full tactical air groups for ground support, 38 interceptor groups for home defense, and 62 groups of long-range strategic bombers, plus fleets of heavy transports.
