Army CH-47s train aboard USS Portland

If I was running the US Army and was getting geared up for the budget war, the next thing I'd do (after I get my modernization together and going) is to push the SecDef and CNO on the subject of getting a select number of Army aircraft marinized so that they could go aboard ship and stay. Everything it would take to make Army aircraft compatible with long stays aboard Navy ships. What do they call them? Aviation Combat Brigades or something like that? Do that to maybe 3 of them so they could rotate and that would be another step toward getting fangs into the fight in the Pacific. We're seeing a cute little jointness thing going on. If I was in charge I'd push it till it broke. Once aviation is enshrined aboard ship I'd get a couple of infantry battalions into the rotation. Simple. Doable. An easy way to ensure the Army gets a piece of the China pie.
