Boeing is pointing to its delivery rates. There is still a lead time once an order is placed and before it enters final assembly. Usually it is between 24-36 months so the earliest Boeing could likely deliver something is sometime in FY22 or FY23 assuming they get an order in FY20. I am not even sure that the DOD is going to go through with this plan but if they do I highly doubt it will be just a one off purchase. The FY20 budget will have to shed light on this strategy if it makes the final cut.
