...What about all those lovely Naval Air and Marine Corps Air Stations?

  We tend to not have those were we need them. Is there a Naval air base near A-stan?

    That's not what you said originally though. You said that the Navy or Marine Corps would be forced to use Air Force facilities. And there can be an air field within striking distance of Afghanistan, if necessary, as I'm sure you know. A CVN or an LHA.

      >That's not what you said originally though. You said that the Navy or Marine Corps would be forced to use Air Force facilities. Yes... and if there's no naval base near the theater you're interested in, then...? We're not fighting wars in San Diego. >And there can be an air field within striking distance of Afghanistan, if necessary, as I'm sure you know. A CVN or an LHA. You know better than that. You're not going to base A-10s on a ship.

        Why base A-10s on a ship (not that you could, anyway) when you could have more capable multi-role fighters on the ship?
