Also, time stamp 5:49 the tail of the aircraft is labeled AFRC MARCH, this indicates that the airplane is stationed out of March Air Reserve Base also in California, (the AFRC standing for "Air Force Reserves Command.")

I wouldn't say it is "jury-rigging" the size of the US Navy's air force by adding Marine Corps aviation assets. Marine Corps fighter squadrons serve in the same CVW as Navy fighter squadrons (CVW-9 includes VMFA-314 flying the F-35C, for instance), Marine Corps SNAs and SNFOs train alongside their Navy and Coast Guard counterparts and all are designated as "Naval Aviator" at the conclusion of AFT.

There is one other aircraft operated by all of the U.S. military services (except the Space Force)The C37 aka the Gulfstream V or Gulfstream G550 Buisness Jet.

Meanwhile my country keeps things simple with all aircraft being operated by the air force (except smaller drones, which the army operates). Our law enforcement & emergency rescuers/fire brigades don't have their own aircraft so sometimes the air force also supports them for some missions e.g. sending a pair of Apaches to patrol a hotel hosting an international summit between world leaders, operating medevac helicopters to ferry sick seafarers from ships near our country to hospital for treatment

And … USAF might have thought about having its own infantry

The Army Air Force had two huge issues during WW2, and probably today also. First, all the Air Force really wants to do is bomb things. All that logistics stuff, and fighter stuff, and all the rest of the non-bomber stuff, is because the Air Force doesn't want anyone else to have planes. During WW2, it was like pulling teeth, using Army Doctors, to get the Army Air Force to provide close air support, and gliders, and transport aircraft for Airborne units. Second, related to the first, is that the AAF didn't want to take any instructions on what targets were important. So, if the Army said they needed some target taken out, the AAF might or might not take it out. It depended on what they wanted to bomb. The basic reason there is an Air Force today is that all those dashing AAF pilots formed a very powerful political block, and they wanted their bombers and didn't want to listen to anyone whose feet stayed on the ground.

When I was in the Army's 1st Cavalry division I only saw the horses being used for drill and ceremony, funerals, getting trainers around the training field during special events. I'm not sure that makes them "working horses". The role of "cavalry" for 1st Cav was tanks, helicopters and light armor vehicles like the LMTV and Hummer.

The King's Guards are in the Army, as are the the Household Cavalry!!!

So the US military has the 3 largest air forces in the world.
