Therin lies the rub. If a USAF commander has 2,000 on-base personnel and only three operable aircraft, how do they justify holding on to the bulk of that force when a nearby Army division is losing combat troops at an unsustainable rate?
This kind of internecine politicking could make for really interesting campaign dynamics.
I suppose a USAF or USN CO could flat out refuse orders from higher HQ* to relinquish control over his/her personnel...
And thus, many a warlord is born.
*Does the JCS survive the TDM? I'm wondering what entity would have ultimate command authority over inter-service personnel transfers.
