“I think we should be doing that as well or maybe under the USAF.”

USAF? No way. The first-person view (FPV) drones are clearly Combat Close Support and, in the American military, should be a separate MOS in units attached to combat arms units. Soldiers/marines with that operational assignment should have a good understanding of ground combat operations and how they can best support such operations.
I trust our military are currently urgently studying how they need to modify current doctrine, organization and training.

Very true
