from an AFSOC guy i can see it being a good move as well (with caveats)
1. no mission creep. CSAR is CSAR...and will NOT evolve into NTISR...keep them off the evil sync matrix's that i know Tac Airlifter just LOVES!
2. funding for CSAR is not a money pot to be raided for higher AFSOC priorities
if those two things hold true then it's good in my mind. +1 to what Danger41 said about probably easier for AFSOC CSAR to get past the bureaucracy to actually launch...for those of you in the proverbial "know" i'd refer you to the 2016 incident in OIR for a case study.
