It’s Official.............by DJ Elliott

The approved Centennial of Naval Aviation video is out:



We are the most Aviation-centric military in the world.
When people talk about Asymmetric warfare - I laugh.

The US Military is Asymmetric to all ather militaries.

What other army in the world has an aviation brigade in every division in addition to the corps/army level aviation? If the IA was building to true US standards they would need 17 aviation brigades with 64 squadrons to go with their existing divs.
To the rest of the world [incl IA], aviation brigades are corps/army level assets...

What other marine corps pairs equal numbers of aviation bns with ground bns? Effectively the USMC is a 3 way split between BLTs, Squadrons, and support.
What other navy has its entire structure based around carriers [CVN/LHD/LHA]? Most navies are doing good to have a carrier...

And on top of the air forces of those 3 services, WE ALSO HAVE THE USAF. As if we didn't have enough air. And our USAF has aircraft other countries can't afford.

The only countries that approach the US aviation strength are Russia and China. Both have ground-force components 3+ times as large as the US...

We are the Asymmetric Military - Radical Aviation centric compared to all others...
