Personally I think that the Army should have an air support wing and a naval support wing, the Navy should have an air support wing and a terrestrial support wing, the Air Force should have a naval support wing and a terrestrial support wing, and the Marines should have naval, terrestrial, and air support wings.

Also the Coast Guard needs men (and women) on land and in the air to support its charter.

We should also have Space Marines, and a Space Army, and a Space Navy because that would just be really cool.

And we also need to start thinking about a Moon Army, Moon Navy (gotta cover all of those dry seas on the Moon), Moon Airforce, and Moon Marines.

And its not too soon to start thinking about defending Mars from those who would take her away from us.

...and yet you completely ignore the security of our subterranean borders. Your plan would leave us highly vulnerable to a Chinese invasion from BELOW!

You are obviously weak on national defense.

I see three flaws with your otherwise excellent analysis.

One, the "wings" should be separate and independent services. Otherwise the parent organization might favor one over the other.

Two, the various naval services should be broken into separate surface and submarine services. That way, there could be a US Army submarine service. Because you never know when we will need to sneak a small tank in somewhere.

Three, you make no mention of expanding the Joint Chiefs to accommodate all these additional services. The more bureaucracy the better!
