The air force should be under the operational control of the army.
Why? The USAF has always been separate since July 26, 1947.
The French tried that, and so did we until after the early part of the North African campaigns of WW-II. It didn't work out so well. Violates the "Concentration of force" principal, as scarce assets are put out in penny lots all over the battlespace.
But like artillery, you can put smaller aircraft, like helicopters or very light fixed wing birds, at lower levels, because you can have more of them. And you often must, just because they have relatively short legs. You don't have Pallidans at company or battalion level, and you wouldn't have these drones at that level either.
And what would you do with the BUFFs, the Bones, and the B-2s, not to mention the KCs, AWACS, C-17s and C-5s.
The Air Force does a lot more than shoot at stuff on the ground.
US troops have not had to face hostile air power since the creation of the US Air Force. There's a reason for that. :)
I suspect ignorance, but please let us in on your plans.
