I seem to recall a video of this monstrosity that wasn't pretty as it literally tore itself apart.

Yep, it was on the history channel the other day....the test pilot was killed as his helo came down nose first. I can't seem to find a video of it on the net.
I lived on Lakehurst Naval Base when the Helistat crashed. When I was 3 years old, my dad worked at Hangar 1. Though I was only 3 years old, I can remember the family driving to go see it. All I have is one still shot of the crash from about 2 miles away. It is a picture of the Helistat nose first into the ground. One thing I remember is that fire engines came from all surrounding cities and even states to help extinguish the fire. Some things you never forget.
This is the perfect Navy solution. Create another staff!
Hey there! Now, that's an idea. Where else is there a lonely (geographical) COCOM without a fleet?
EUCOM = 6th Fleet
PACOM = 7th Fleet (arguably supported by 3rd as well)
JFCOM = 2nd Fleet (arguably supported by 3rd as well)
CENTCOM = 5th Fleet
NORTHCOM = 2nd/3rd Fleet as required
SOUTHCOM = 4th Fleet
What about AFRICOM?...the new kid on the block? There's even some Navy guys in Africa already! Maybe you know some that might want to get that Joint ticket punched and not be red headed step children of 5th Fleet?

It was funny watching the pissing battle that occurred when we were doing the NEO in Lebanon. Guess what, we were operating from waterways in 6th Fleet, but Lebanon belongs to CENTCOM. Who works for who?!? 24th MEU has two daddys...
Ended up designating CENTCOM the supported command, and EUCOM the supporting command. Who really gives a shit when you're the point on the spear?!?
Well, the theme for African ops has usually been something like:
You do it...
No, you do it...
No, you do it!
Let's give it to CENTCOM...they'll do anything...
You do it...
No, you do it...
No, you do it!
Let's give it to CENTCOM...they'll do anything...
