That’s already where we are supposed to be now. Albeit the green army still aren’t getting anything from A400M in terms of Airborne Assault and resupply, or in-theatre airlift, so the C-130 stagged on with all that as well as having been chopped away in aircraft and crews and are stretched thin as a result. If A400M steps up in a few non-specialist areas then it *might* work if the scope of C-130 operations is narrowed by a lot.
