The use of precisely guided aerial gunfire or bombing that may be relatively close to friendly personnel on the ground.
Air superiority is important in conflicts because it allows one side to have control of the skies, enabling them to conduct reconnaissance, provide close air support to ground troops, and disrupt enemy operations. Without air superiority, an army can be vulnerable to aerial attacks, hindering their ability to maneuver and carry out successful operations.
Fog is what we call the cloud close to the ground.
Air stays close to the Earth due to gravity, which pulls the air molecules towards the surface. Additionally, air pressure increases with proximity to the Earth's surface, which also helps to keep the air close.
tornado Thermals, caused by hot ground heating the air close above it. Replaced by cold air sinking from above.
Air conditioner units are typically placed close to the ceiling because cool air sinks while warm air rises. By positioning the unit higher up, it can efficiently circulate cool air throughout the room, ensuring better distribution and comfort. Additionally, this placement helps to minimize the obstruction of airflow and maximizes the unit's overall efficiency in cooling the space.

Because of Air Force objections. The Air Force objected to the Army even having armed COIN aircraft (like the OV-1 and OV-10). As for the Air Force hating close air support, this comes from where, exactly? That aside, the military isn't about what one likes or dislikes - it's about accomplishing the mission.
The services provided by Tacp - calling in close air support and such - are exclusive to the Air Force - none of the other branches has this capacity. So Air Force personnel are attached to units from other branches in order to provide those units with close air support capabilities.
The AC-130 is Air Force Special Operations Command's premier close air support asset. It can be used to interdict pre-planned targets or to provide dynamic fire support for U.S. and allied ground troops.
Air Support was created in 1992.
Air Support happened in 1992.
The A-10 Thunderbolt II, also known as the "Warthog," was specifically designed for close air support and is known for its ability to destroy enemy tanks. Equipped with a powerful GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm cannon and a variety of precision-guided munitions, the A-10 excels in attacking ground targets while providing support to ground troops. Its rugged design and slow-flying capabilities allow it to operate effectively in close proximity to the front lines.
Close or urban terrain, Night fighting, Stability and support, and Helicopter firepower
The primary role of the Air Force is to conduct aerial operations, including air combat, reconnaissance, and support for ground forces. However, they can engage in land operations indirectly through air support, such as providing close air support for ground troops or conducting airstrikes against land targets. Some Air Force personnel may also receive training in joint operations, which can include land-based activities, but their main focus remains in the air.
