Just a few points that I missed and others picked up on and a few things i saw on the second running...
1. Deep penetration mission with Special Ops.
2. Same mission set as V-22 which was also flashed in the vid.
3. Sneak peek at the armed X-2 supporting the CH-53K.
4. Resupply of an outpost under attack (revised view of our outposts that were overrun in Afghanistan)...if only we had the CH-53K...
5. It appears that the defensive arms were used in an offensive role.
6. Interservice operations...from an Air Force base to an LHD.
Yes, that's Sikorsky's X2 VUAS, basically an attempt to get a return on the X2 TD (same spaceframe).
Interesting claim that the CH-53's mission set "includes gas and oil platform operations." That's presumably in the context of Strait of Hormuz 'operations' rather than the Gulf of Mexico crew transfers.
I like the swipe at Boeing (CH-47 being recovered via CH-53K sling-load).
The x-2 look like unmanned without a cockpit.I don't know if is a effect in the movie but look without cockpit
