1. US AIR FORCE.
2. call usaf and have them drop a j-dam
3. Whichever is closer.
4. Army Apaches. HOOAH!!
5. Marine Aviation would be closer, but USAF could be more powerful, so it depends on how bad you are pinned down
6. air force.
7. The RAF
8. US AIR FORCE.....of course. USA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) From my hear to yours..................
9. The Air Force! with a carpet bombing of the area.
10. Puff the Magic Dragon baby. The spector gunship. Pop a flare hold it over my head and watch the fireworks. HOOOORRAAAAAAAA!!!!!
11. american airlines. quit playing empire & the 'terrorism' (retaliation) will stop. im suprised you all havent gotten that yet. 'many of them partially educated'.
12. USAF. Why? because we are the best Air Force in the world! We can hit a target as small as your bedroom window with pinpoint accuracy at a moments notice, and we have the firepower to take out very large targets, hardened targets (bunkers), or whole batallions of enemy troops!
13. I think if I had to choose I would choose the flying monkey's from the Wizard of Oz...those guys were way more accurate and scary...
14. In the real world you will send a request for fire support and the people in the Tactical Operations center will see what is available and select the type of fire support that best fits your needs. (Artillery, mortar, attack helicopter, navy/marine/air force.) In the scenario you posted - you will most likely get artillery because this would be the fastest. If the decision is made to send you an airplane with bombs - the mission will go to whoevers aircraft is assigned the sector you happen to be in.
15. I'd take the first flyboy that could put steel on target. If I have a choice, give me Marine Close Air Support anytime! The Marines will drop withing 50 meters of your perimeter (or closer) and hit but the girls in Air Force blue won't drop closer than 150 meters because it might be dangerous to you (like the bad guys shooting at you is good for your health!).
16. what's the call sign for divarty? fire for effect!
17. Marine aviation.Their pilots spend time on the ground w/front line units.
