The Organic Marine Aviation in a given MAGTF works very well, and fits into the Joint fight very well.
Not sure what your experience is in the combined arms fight in sizes small, medium, and large. (The Marines stay out of the "bomber command" bit but are keenly interested in the interdiction and strike pieces, since that shapes the battlefield).
