Air Transportation: February 11, 2001

The Army is pointedly warning the Air Force that its new medium brigades will mean more jobs for air transports, not fewer. The goal is to be able to deploy a brigade mounted in LAV armored cars by air in 96 hours. While airlifters can carry many more LAVs than M1 tanks, they are not generally expected to carry more than a few tanks as most of those are sent by ship.--Stephen V Cole
