Airborne HUMVEE drop...



Airborne forces foot mobile?  Not necessarily.  In this vid you get a chance to see the USAF in action doing a drop of a couple (or three) of HUMVEEs from what I assume is a C-17.  A Division Ready Brigade from the 82nd might not have the hitting power of a Stryker Brigade but they can get there much faster, has much greater strategic mobility and will be much easier to support once they get in the field.

  1. Now that was really cool, loved seeing the first soldier in the stick with his camera shooting pics as well. So what happens to the paratroopers? Does the C-17 circle up to drop them out next?
