Air Guard considers cutting enlisted mental health specialists

The Air National Guard is considering cutting its corps of enlisted mental health specialists, but a final decision is still in the works, a spokesperson told Air Force Times.


“Care for our airmen and their mental health is very important to the Air National Guard,” ANG spokesperson Lt. Col. Amber Schatz said in an email Monday.

She declined to answer questions about why the Guard is considering the move and when it may happen.

Around 1,000 enlisted airmen work in the mental health services field, known by the code “4C0,” across the active duty Air Force and its reserve components, according to the Air Force Association’s 2022 almanac. Schatz did not answer how many are part of the Air National Guard.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It seems a curious group to cut given the military's recent history. :pondering:
