They'd have to rework the wings so that they could fold. The cruciform A-10 would take up to much deck/hangar space without folding wings. Given the landing gear housing, I'm pretty sure that retro-engineering this would be prohibitively complicated.
@stg58fal: Did I miss something or doesn't the USMC still have its own fixed wing air?
