Everything in the inventory should be orbiting over these people when they're in the field.

Doncha figure, maybe, the brass knows that? The Air Force, like every other organization on Earth, has to prioritize allocation of its assets. If you'll recall, there was a whole lot of stuff goin' on simultaneously at about this time in Iraq.

Reality is that there are only so many assets and they have a certain window to deliver their ordinance before refueling, etc. It is possible too that those assets might be responding to other calls.
