Better question: Why is the US Coast Guard, ICE and DEA in Iraq?
...
Yeah, I saw plenty of Navy in Afghanistan. The nautical branch is more than just "boat people."
As an example, their EOD ("bomb squad") rolled out on missions with everybody, just like Air Force EOD.
The nature of the "Global War on Terrorism" means that anybody with a skill is being used.
That and every branch of the US military has some sort of pilot. Each branch is pretty diverse.
