Rank is rank and a captain of any corp will always outrank a lieutenant of any other corp. A good captain will listen to the lieutenant (and NCOs) of the more relevant corp, and hopefully act accordingly.

The captain would remain a captain and likely remain in the USAF. They would however not be used in a combat role, at least not to begin with.
Chances are they'd be assigned to a supporting position, perhaps commanding a maintence unit and eventually be given some rudimentary infantry training.

As the war progressed, it's likely their entire squadron would be re-roled and undertake retraining in a similar way as some WWII infantry units were retrained as armour.
