The article is titled "Not Fade Away." It is about the new A-10C modification and the Maryland ANG.It has a great description of how the A-10 "Charlie" is allowing the Warthog to deliver more smart weapons. It praises the airplane (and the Maryland ANG who I also praise).The last two paragraphs in the article say,

Warthog pilots are convinced the capabilities of the A-10 will be called upon for years to come, as its designated replacement is slated to come at the end of the F-35 production run. "Look at the Air Force in 2020," Marino said. "What's your best counterinsurgency airplane?"

Thanks to the upgrades, the answer will almost certainly be: the A-10C.

You might find a copy at your local library. It is a great article. They mis-identified the Maverick missile in the photo at the top of page 42, but that is the only error I found.
