Has to be the navy. Simple logic... Can't get anywhere without them. All battle groups/ subs, carriers, destroyers etc. have their own Air Force...special ops..etc etc. No navy...world dominance over. Can't do shite without the navy. The army..?? Pound off the coast with fighter jets, destroyers, drones etc. Air Force..?? Navy brings them their and the navy has their own planes anyway.
Uhhhh, NO
The Navy does not transport the USAF. AirForce takes care of its own. I respect all branches, but when it comes to air superiority the Air Force owns it. Stealth fighters/bombers, F-22, plus all the bombers are air force. That's what sets use apart. Here's a scenario. Let's send all army and marine ground forces to china without air support. Good bye!!!!

The Air Force is the least important. We've won ground wars before without air support and we could do it again. It's simply a nice to have. We are a country with an ocean on each side. We trade with almost every other country in the world. The bulk of that trade goes in boats across the oceans. Protecting the shipping lanes is the vital to our economy. The Navy is the most important.

You really think the Air Force supports itself. You way overestimate the airlift capacity of the Air Force. They couldn't transport enough JP to keep one fighter squadron in the air. Much less the food, supplies and other necessities for the people to keep the jets in the air.
The Air Force is very limited in what they do - although what they do they do very well.

Here's a Scenario. Let's use just air strikes and no ground forces to defeat ISIS.
Oh Yeah. let me know how that's working out.
