To support the boots on the ground !
No it isn't in the big picture, much to the army's consternation. You could call it defence of the UK and its territories or carrying out British defence policy or something similar. Sometimes that means supporting the "boots on the ground" sometimes it doesn't
So close air support and most tactical transport aviation ought to be Army functions under Army control, don't we all agree?
True for British Army as well as AUSA.
