It seems weird that our Airborne, Rangers, Special Forces, are always having to depend on assets from another branch of the service to be able to operate, and even train.

Today we have the Army depending on the Air Force.

Transportation priority is an odd thing to put in the hands of another service even in peacetime. In wartime it makes no sense at all. It should be a mission based decision and not one based on turf or competing objectives.

Army has always depended on the Air Force for weather support. Army has no weather service.
