With the exception of #3, the USAF doesn't want to do any of that. The USAF has from the start believed that it can bomb an enemy into submission through strategic bombing. There is some truth to this idea but I can't recall any major war where this has worked by itself without boots on the ground. Given that, the USAF must continue to perform #1 and #2. It's kind of unsettling that the USAF continues to want to neglect the less glamorous but vital roles.
