The Force will take over the F-35B?

Lockheed Martin originally contracted with the U.S. Marine Corps to
build the STOVL variant of the F-35 to replace the aging AV-8B
Harrier. The Air Force will take over the program in June, as part of
the service’s commitment to improving close-air support.

Who ya gonna FARP with?

Will there be AF units attached to Army "flying columns" to setup ad hoc
Foward Area Refueling Points for Air Force F-35Bs alongside the Apaches?

Doesn't it make more sense to transfer Tac Air back to the Army so the
Generals can shuffle funds between helicopters and fixed wing CAS as needed?
