In other words, it makes a lot of sense for the A-10's etc to be transfered.
Also, having the ground support aircraft actually controlled by the ground forces is likely to save a lot of time, money and ultimately probably lives too.
Goes to show just how messy things can get in a massive organisation like the US government, or even just the military arms of it. There's a lot to be said for a single controlling entity responsible for rationalising not just the military but the entire government, without having to answer to voters, special interest groups and any other influences outside saving money, people, and minimising bureaucracy. Keep politics out of it and work on a logical and efficiency basis.
