Reworded....you ain't got enough Fixed Wing Aircraft to carry out the mission.
You have too few Helicopter AAR capable Delivery Aircraft and to provide the coverage you would need would tie up too many of too few aircraft.
Sad really, but that is the nature of Budget Cuts and having far too few Resources to draw from. It is a simple question of priorities driven by the reality of tight budgets and a failure to see the need for a fully capable Military.
Ask yourself why you have no MPA capability?
Did the Submarine Threat disappear?
