Military Aviator Coalition for Health

THE MISSION CONTINUES . . .

OUR MISSION

MACH is a 501(c)3 nonprofit coalition of veteran aircrew nonprofits, NGOs, legislative champions, and individual stakeholders marshaling the full spectrum of U.S. military flying experience to protect the health of every past and present crew member. Based on the Red Flag model of shared planning and decisive execution, we fuse data, tactics, and advocacy to drive systemic change. By turning cockpit-tested ingenuity into research-backed policy, MACH’s mission is to unlock definitive research, shape legislation, and deliver programs that protect and improve the health of every U.S. military aviator and crew member.

JOIN THE COALITION

OUR PRIORITIES

POLICY

Our flagship objective for the 119th Congress is passage of the bipartisan Aviator Cancer Examination Study (ACES) Act commissioning an independent National Academies study and paving the way for stronger screening and treatment protocols for every military aircrew member.

ACT NOW

PARTNERS

Our partners give MACH both credibility and capacity: credibility through subject-matter authority and real-world stories, and capacity through a nationwide grassroots network that keeps pressure on Congress until aircrew health reforms are law.

MACH MEMBERS

RESEARCH

MACH advocates for rigorous, independent research to uncover the full scope of cancer risks among military aviators. We support expanding access to DoD and VA health data, and funding longitudinal studies on occupational exposures to mitigate future risk.

🚨 Military Aviators and Families: Your Experience Matters 🚨

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) is currently collecting perspectives for its Military Fixed-Wing Aircrew Cancer Incidence Study.

This is your opportunity to help ensure the committee hears directly from those who lived the mission.

NASEM is seeking input on:

✈️ Military service as fixed-wing aircrew
🩺 Cancer diagnoses and health outcomes
☢️ Potential exposures associated with military aviation
🧪 Chemicals, compounds, fuels, solvents, radiation, and other occupational hazards
📋 Additional factors you believe the committee should consider
🗣️ Individuals interested in speaking with the committee
🤝 Experts, researchers, and stakeholders who may contribute to the study

Whether you have been diagnosed with cancer, experienced unusual health concerns, served in high-exposure environments, or simply believe there are occupational risks that deserve further examination, your perspective can help inform this important study.

The committee cannot investigate what it does not know exists.

📌 To submit your perspective:
