This was the 20th century; in which the Air Force did Air Force jobs, the Navy did Navy jobs, and the Marines & Army did Marine/Army work.
TODAY; each branch of service has their own "bells and whistles department." In Vietnam, with the exception of some very specialized and/or covert operations (or even secret experiments) the USAF fought in the skies over North & South Vietnam (and Cambodia and Laos); unless of course their pilots and aircrewmen were shot down...THEN THEY FOUGHT IN THE JUNGLE.

Also, the use of ambush and guerrilla tactics are amplified in this terrain, enabling concealment and ease of mobility on foot.
