If somebody wants to look it up the 18th Airborne corps did of study of situations like this in 1956. I think it is in Military Review somewhere. I think the paper was called SKYCAV Operations during Exercise Sagebrush. General Gavin called Distributed Operations "Amoeba Operations" back then and the article delt with Atomic warfare and finding small mobile groups that could assemble and disperse rapidly. This was then adapted to Air Cavalry operations in Vietnam. As I remember it gives a pretty blistering account of Air Force interference in getting proper tactical aircraft.
