     SEC. 342. REPORT ON UTILIZATION OF 24TH TACTICAL AIR SUPPORT 
                   SQUADRON.

       (a) In General.--Not later than December 1, 2019, the 
     Secretary of the Air Force shall submit to the Committees on 
     Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     a report on the utilization of the 24th Tactical Air Support 
     Squadron and the sortie allocation to training in close air 
     support.

     aircraft availability, it is the sense of Congress that the 
     Secretary of the Air Force should utilize additional contract 
     close air support in fiscal year 2020 to meet the growing 
     training requirements for Joint Terminal Attack Controllers 
     in the Air Force, including the reserve components.
