Ich möchte euch bitten die Aspekte von Close Air Support hier weiterzudiskutieren, und gleich eine Aussage in den Raum stellen:

And the close-air support specialists were in demand. Kennedy said during a Pentagon interview that in the first week of the war, close-air support requests went to the Combined Air Operations Center "open-ended" -- meaning no specific aircraft type was requested. After the first week, he said, 80 to 90 percent of the requests for close-air support were A-10-specific.
