That was definitely the case during the Vietnam war!

Kept it alive, arguably so. But if we want to address bringing it into
robust vigor during the Vietnam years, I think there were some joint
force partners in the effort. (EB-66, EC-121, EB-47, EC-47, F-100F,
F-105F & G, F-4C, ALQ-67, 72, 87, 94, 101, OV-1 Mohawk, QU-22B, Igloo
White, Teaball, AGM-45, AGM-78, ....etc. etc.) Some systems orginated
from USN programs, some from Army, some from AF. Lots of stuff went
on.
