Why Every US Military Branch Has an "Air Force" 

I love how all of the branches created their own airforces just so that they don’t have to deal with the airforce.

Fun fact: In 1795, a french cavalery regiment won a battle against the dutch marine fleet, which was stuck in the frozen sea. It is afaik the only time, caverlary fought vessels successfully.

My uncle once said to me "marine stands for My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment" and sometimes I find myself thinking about how true it is

The Air Force also has boats, for rescuing downed crews, called 'crash boats'.

Airforce: Because the military wanted to keep their smart kids away from the dumb ones.

No aircraft in Spaceforce yet the Navy has one of the world's largest air forces.

We got a drone crash. Send in the cavalry.

ALWAYS great information! Thank you!

In the 1970s and '80s the US army had the second largest Navy in the world.

Time stamp 5:39 the back of the seat is labeled "TRAVIS," this indicates that the aircraft is stationed out of Travis Air Force Base in California. I lived there for about 6 years when I was a kid (1980s) and my USAF enlisted dad was stationed to the base. Also, time stamp 5:49 the tail of the aircraft is labeled AFRC MARCH, this indicates that the airplane is stationed out of March Air Reserve Base also in California, (the AFRC standing for "Air Force Reserves Command.") Albeit while Travis AFB is in Northern California, March ARB is in Southern California and is less than five miles from where I now live. All that said, great video clips "Not What You Think." 😉👍

The Marine Corps also has military working horses for Mountain Warfare training. As well as mules and donkeys for Animal Packers, which is a method of resupplying Marines at higher altitudes where there are not improved roads and helicopters are significantly less effective.

Not only do the Navy and Army have their seperate air forces, the Navy's Army has it's own air force too.

The Army also has Horses for the Honor Guard, and military burials at Arlington Cemetery.

That “horse” in the thumbnail instigated a fight or flight response

Please note I'm not complaining about your excellent video, just a comment. It is now called Vandenberg Space Force Base, no longer called Air Force Base.

Interesting , Thank You

Cool video. Thank you. 😊😊❤❤

The Army has horses aswell. Ever hear of The Old Guard?

Army still has horses in Armored Cavalry regiments. They even compete in challenges called spur rides.

The US Navy also has several other fixed-wing aircraft such as the P-3 Orion and the C-130 Hercules, amongst many others.

ok, this tittle broke me a little. Good job

This is the best thumbnail ever, please don't change it

The US Army Special Forces used horses in Afghanistan. I’m not sure if that counts, because I believe they bought/borrowed them from the Afghan Northern Alliance. They even made a movie about it .

USAF has horses because their branch has the nicest Officer's Clubs

Certified GOAT Thumbnail

That thumbnail is from Kadena in Okinawa. Looks recent, too 🤔 Edit: Haha nvm they changed it

You might also want to look up the Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard.

Actually the U.S. Army has horses in Virginia and Washington DC, the USN has several herds of “mustangs “ out in the western states

There is one other aircraft operated by all of the U.S. military services (except the Space Force)The C37 aka the Gulfstream V or Gulfstream G550 Buisness Jet.

Wht about the U.S. Animal Packer’s course? That’s for working animals. The Marines and SOF use them occasionally. Who owns those?

Very interesting

Second clip is Eielson AFB Alaska

The Bell V-280 Valor will be everywhere through all branches, just like the hawks

Almost 100% sure that the US Army has horses at Fort Myer (provides for the Arligton National Cemetery needs)

Pegasus? Gotta be!

Army has horses…

I wouldn't say it is "jury-rigging" the size of the US Navy's air force by adding Marine Corps aviation assets. Marine Corps fighter squadrons serve in the same CVW as Navy fighter squadrons (CVW-9 includes VMFA-314 flying the F-35C, for instance), Marine Corps SNAs and SNFOs train alongside their Navy and Coast Guard counterparts and all are designated as "Naval Aviator" at the conclusion of AFT.

"Let that sink in."

Ama suggest you a Video: Why your taxes make nukes bounce & spin, is not what you think

hawks give me the vietnam vibes lol

much love all

That wasn't a C-130 at 10:39. It only has two engines

How many ships are operated by the US Army?

Meanwhile my country keeps things simple with all aircraft being operated by the air force (except smaller drones, which the army operates). Our law enforcement & emergency rescuers/fire brigades don't have their own aircraft so sometimes the air force also supports them for some missions e.g. sending a pair of Apaches to patrol a hotel hosting an international summit between world leaders, operating medevac helicopters to ferry sick seafarers from ships near our country to hospital for treatment

I hope to watch someday a collaboration video between you and Ian, from Forgotten Weapons. I'm quite sure the result would be not what you think.

bro, im to stoned to read that title without laughing

I love the caribou’s

The Army has always and still does have Calvary. Where do you get your information?!

Let that sink in

I believe you'll find all branches operate the C130!

Don’t quote me but I’ve been told that the SF guys maintain some horses for training. They had to learn hard and fast in Afghanistan how to ride horses in a combat environment. At least that’s the rumor.

Is this a guest collaboration with Buckets? 🐴🥁

The best and most complete Army in the world,👌🏽💯

Hello! To anyone reading this, have a great day, and remember the positives in life!

In a video about aircraft the horse is the ultimate ATV.

Air force horses is called "High Horse"

The King's Guards are in the Army, as are the the Household Cavalry!!!

Even *NIKE* has an: *"Air Force"* - I *own one* 💯% . . . ✅️ ☝🏽 👌🏽 👍🏼

The Army Air Force had two huge issues during WW2, and probably today also. First, all the Air Force really wants to do is bomb things. All that logistics stuff, and fighter stuff, and all the rest of the non-bomber stuff, is because the Air Force doesn't want anyone else to have planes. During WW2, it was like pulling teeth, using Army Doctors, to get the Army Air Force to provide close air support, and gliders, and transport aircraft for Airborne units. Second, related to the first, is that the AAF didn't want to take any instructions on what targets were important. So, if the Army said they needed some target taken out, the AAF might or might not take it out. It depended on what they wanted to bomb. The basic reason there is an Air Force today is that all those dashing AAF pilots formed a very powerful political block, and they wanted their bombers and didn't want to listen to anyone whose feet stayed on the ground.

Special Forces and parade units also use horses

And … USAF might have thought about having its own infantry

Army has mules

500 views in 5 minutes!!! *Nice*

So the US military has the 3 largest air forces in the world.

Military horses? Like the Army has at Arlington cemeteries and the Cav Scouts have?

Wait so the top three airforces are all US military branches

The US Army has horses!!! 11th Infantry Div. Fort Myer VA..

Since the USMC Discontinued M-1 Tanks They Should Get the USAF A-10 Thunderbolt II / Warthogs, Semper-Fi.

Vandenberg Space Force Base.

I've been asking this question for century. What's the point of having a branch called 'Air Force' if all other branches have air forces, why not call the USAF something else?

Redundancy and overspending is key to success.

It's pretty well I knew the majority of that except for the Air Force's horses?

It’ll be cool if they train those horses to be air dropped and parachute in to the area….

Space force has a space plane;)

Its Vandenberg space force base.

Winged Hussars

Flying horsies?

The Army has Horses.

The army also has horses (in texas)

You don’t classify the space forces reusable space plane as a plane?

0:25 different branches of Indian Armed Forces have aircrafts for different roles Army: helicopters (rotary wing, utility and attack) AF: fixed and rotary wing aircrafts (all roles) Navy: fighters and recon aircraft

The Air Force is like the FedEx of the US armed Forces

Could You Cover [ USARMY Body Bags ]

Cause first place wasn’t good enough, needed to take second place as well

United States Air Horse

Is it logistics? I bet it's logistics.

Fun fact, during WW2 the US Army had a larger navy than the US Navy. Just keeping with the theme.

So many people didnt watch the video ig

US NAVY is the fourth largest air force in the world behind China and Russia, fifth if you consider European Union as one.

The army still has horses. In fact on fort Sill there is a horse and a goat

Coast guard hehe still cant get over the fact that guys were going into the coast guard thinking itll be easy and no going to the fronts and ending up going down rivers Afghanistan shooting rockets at the taliban

Speaking of USAF and horses, wasn't there a point in afghanistan where we had AFSOC operators riding around on horseback?

so who owns the stargate?

Your videos are always interesting, but in the case of this one I think the clickbaitiness of the title and thumbnail was a little worse than average for RU-vid.

AF is static air support while NAVY is dynamic air support…. Pass on the time I saved you to look outside.

this is the difference btw INDIAN ARMY and US ARMY INDIAN ARMY- we have to walk to the hit (21kms). US ARMY- we have to walk to the hit by ourselves ? (10km) NAAH LETS CALL THE BLACK HAWKS 💀💀💀

Why is there a clip with Elon Musk in twitter lol 7:31

Sprzęt jest ważne y i potr,ebny oby najnowocześniejszy na świecie ale zawsze najważniejszy pozostaje człowiek. Jego zasady poczucie odpowiedzialności samodyscyplina itp.Dziękuję Życzę dużo satysfakcji że służby w silach zbrojnych w obronie ojczyzny i jej sojuszy. Boże błogosław Amerykę. Dziękuję. POZDRAWIAM. Nara ❤.

The German police also uses horses.

The second largest air force in the world is the Air Force boneyard.. And the US Army still have horses...
