The C-27J is an advanced derivative of Alenia Aeronautica's G.222 (C-27A Spartan in US service), with the engines and systems of the Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules. The aircraft was selected as the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) for the United States military. The C-27J has a 35% increase in range and a 15% faster cruise speed than the G.222. The Italian Air Force, Hellenic Air Force, Bulgarian Air Force, Romanian Air Force, United States Army and the United States Air Force have ordered the C-27J. Alenia is offering Canada the C-27J as a CC-115 Buffalo replacement. Lithuania ordered the C-27J as an Antonov An-26 replacement.

The United States received its first C-27J on 25 September 2008. In September 2008 the C-27J Schoolhouse, operated by L-3 Link, officially began classes at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. It has been proposed, in May 2009, that the US Army/Army National Guard lose all of their aircraft to the US Air Force, primarily the Air National Guard, and the total buy reduced in half to 38 aircraft. By April 2009, the Army had accepted deliveries of two aircraft and had 11 more on order. In 2009, the US DoD gave total control of the US's C-27Js to the US Air Force. The US Air National Guard has received 4 C-27Js and began using them for testing and training.
