How does the air force help?

Without an air force, armies would have to walk or drive to war. The Air Force can fly them there. An Air Force can destroy targets that are so far away from the Army, that the Army doesn't even know existed. An Air Force can allow an Army to move FAR ahead into the advance; and be re-supplied with fuel, ammunition, food, and spare parts by...air. An Air Force can medic-vac casualties, allowing the wounded man to be repaired and returned to duty to fight again. Without air power, the wounded man might not survive...let alone return to duty.
