<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Airborne is only in the air for as long as it takes to get to the DZ. After that they are Light Infantry.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Because it&#39;s a battlefield capability in order to meet ground combat objectives. The Army needs the capability. The Air Force controlling an Airborne division would be giving them a bunch of unneeded responsibility with little benefit to their mission set.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Because it takes balls to jump out of the plane.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why would they be? Airborne operations are a skill. It simply means that an infantry or other arms soldier or SM can safely conduct airborne operations whether at day or night. <br /><br />These are joint operations that are conducted in conjunction with the Air Force.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Don’t know if this is feasible or not,but as a former “dirty leg” would love to see the initial meeting!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I say give the Air Force more control if the Airmen are willing to conduct jumps to conduct tactical operations.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Because the Airborne sees combat.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Because the Airborne would be pampered and spoiled.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Because the Air Force is there to support the ground component. The Air Force doesn’t own battle space. 99.9% of their service life, paratroopers have zero interaction with the Air Force. The other .01% they are jumping. Simple infil platform.
