Sounds like a planning problem at the Puzzle Palace, to me.
It's not as if the A-10C doesn't do CAS. USAF assets don't have to be administratively attached to an MEU or any other Marine sortie to provide cover, last I looked. They just have to be tasked. See Puzzle Palace reference, above.
There are plenty of Joint Chiefs-directed multi-service ops out there, simply pick and choose. I flew joint Navy/USAF ops with minimal spacing between P-3C Reef Point, WC-135B Constant Phoenix, HC-130N, and RC-135S Cobra Ball assets all working over the same targets, and that was nigh unto 15 years ago. I was the USAF mission commander on the Navy P-3C, no less. Obstacles? What obstacles?
Hanging a plethora of extra guns on an airframe that's already at weight limits? Not without something else getting deleted, I'm afraid.
