Summary:

Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) is a joint acquisition program between the Army and Air Force designed to procure a commercial off-the-shelf aircraft, capable of meeting Army requirements for 'direct support' to maneuver units and Air Force requirements for 'common-user' intra-theater airlift. The C-27J 'Spartan' has already won the JCA competition. Issues for Congress include requirements and service 'roles and missions.'
