Do many heads of service contribute to operations, or do they command whilst their service is involved in operations? Granted, CAS never flew an FGR4 or Reaper during Op SHADER, or a C17 during Op PITTING or an RJ in the Black Sea. Define how he’s not contributing compared to any other CAS during SHADER or HERRICK. How did any CAS contribute to “Ops” during the Cold War?
