The U.S. Army has a fleet?!?

Why does the U.S. Army operate a fleet of approximately 300 vessels. Isn't that supposed to be the Navy's job?

Those are to transport land vehicles. The navy mostly just transports planes and stays far off the coast.

how the hell else are you supposed support an army thats distributed throughout Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the ME?

hmm...with a navy?

Are you going to ask why the Army has manned fixed-wing aircraft next?

Why Army has manned fixed-wing aircraft ?

>Why does the U.S. Navy operate a ground force of approximately 180,000 troops. Isn't that supposed to be the Army's job?

Exactly

To service their ships, obviously. It just seems like the Army operating ships would be like the equivalent of the Navy operating main battle tanks though, quite a bit outside of their role.

>Doesn't know about the Navy's 403 m1a tanks
You must be 18 to post here.

You ask nicely to the Navy.

Organization and command chain affects a lot of things, you can't always ask someone else because in a tight spot they won't give you support.

This is why you get some interesting "ownership" stuff.

Why coast guard has ships Isn't that supposed to be the Navy's job?

Navy in charge of anything except getting BTFO by container ships

the marine corps is a department of the navy
so technically the navy has 4 divisions of ground troops

no because the coast guards job is to...guard the coast and revenue protection and shit

that's because of bureaucratic dickery and infighting over turf and not sharing resources or delegating command of 'your' resources to 'other' services

This is the sort of shit that helped lead to 9/11: the CIA knew of at least 2 of the hijackers being in the country but did not tell the FBI because they wanted to get to them and get the glory

>has manned fixed-wing aircraft next?
heh?
Army operates fixed wing aircrafts? what?

Budget reasons the Navys budget is not for moving the armys shit around

>Army operates fixed wing aircraft
Yes? Lots of drones, and lots of jets and turbo prop planes.
