USAF up a creek without Navy jammer support

http://www.tradingmarkets.com/.site/news/Stock News/1274824/
The U.S. Air Force does not have the flexibility for planning and
executing strike missions that it once had. The hope that stealth
technology would make up for the lack of an inherent EW capability has
not materialized, and when Navy and Marine Corps EA-6Bs begin to leave
service, the Air Force will have fewer options to conduct
unconventional missions that support ground force operations in the
war against terrorism.
