Which is absolutely irrelevant. The Air Force who is the one that makes the decision on what the Air Force builds and buys and what the mission is, hasn't made that decision yet. NATO may be a community, and may get some input into plans and operations, but has nothing to do with if the Air Force goes ahead with a CAS platform with a 30mm or not.

Contrary to what many people seem to think, NATO doesn't set US military policy, or anyone else's. Those decisions are the responsibility of the nation in question. When the Air Force comes out and says they're doing something, then that's one thing. But secondhand through NATO, or a NATO source, that is another.
