A country's Air Force provides both air combat support and ground combat support. There is an old war adage that says "He who controls the air controls the war." This adage is very true. Air Force units provide three main things: 1) Visual support for air and ground units (serving as scouts) 2) fire support for air and ground units (serving as protectors) and 3) Transportation for air and ground units and their equipment. Without the air force, supplies would take a lot longer to get to the battle front. **6 years SSgt USAF/F16 Crew Chief.
