While some of [[United States Marine Corps Aviation|Marine Corps Aviation]] assets ultimately derive from the Navy, a large amount of support is drawn from the United States Air Force. The Marine Corps makes extensive use of the USAF [[Air Mobility Command]] to [[airlift]] marines and equipment, along with utilizing close air support from the Air Force. The Air Force may also attach [[Tactical Air Control Party]] units to conventional Marine ground forces to provide coordination for close air support.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.airforce.com/careers/detail/tactical-air-control-party-specialist-tacp|title=U.S. Air Force – Career Detail – Tactical Air Control Party Specialist (TACP)|website=airforce.com|access-date=21 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170822015335/https://www.airforce.com/careers/detail/tactical-air-control-party-specialist-tacp|archive-date=22 August 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Air Force traditionally provides the [[Joint Force Air Component Commander]] (JFACC) who controls "sorties for air defense, and long range interdiction and reconnaissance" while the MAGTF commander retains control of the Marines' organic aviation assets, however Marine Aviation missions not directly in the support of the MAGTF will be typically controlled by the JFACC.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.apc.au.af.mil/text/oap/purpose.htm |title=Purpose of JFACC (archived) |access-date=28 January 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051119110547/http://www.apc.au.af.mil/text/oap/purpose.htm |archive-date=19 November 2005}} U.S. Air Force</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Expeditionary Operations (Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication 3) |author =United States Marine Corps|page=83|publisher= Willside Press LLC|year=2005 |isbn =978-1-55742-371-9}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/new_pubs/jp3_30.pdf |title=Command and Control of Joint Air Operations |access-date=18 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141222114848/http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/new_pubs/jp3_30.pdf |archive-date=22 December 2014}}</ref>
