It shocked me when I read during CGSC that the Navy is the power projection arm of the United States.
But after reading about it, I had to agree. When a Navy Carrier Group enters a foreign port, that country has nothing to match it.
However, when the US Army lands an Armored Division, it is only because the US Navy has already been there.
As another retired Army guy, I have to agree. When the Royal Navy ruled the ocean waves, the British ruled the world. We took their place in 1945 and the Navy was the key. When it comes time for fighting, however, this era is an Army and Marine show with everyone else chipping in and helping out.
And...without the Navy, how could there be an Army-Navy Game?
