> No other modern military force has a separate "air force"
The UK has the same high level structure as the US (A “Naval Service” including Navy and Marines, an Army, and an Air Force.)
It's a fairly common structure.
The Chinese PLA actually has more services (Ground Force, Air Force, Rocket Force, Navy, Strategic Support Force.)
There probably are modern militaries where one of the top-level divisions isn't something like an air Force, but they aren't dominant among modern, large-scale forces.
