USMC chest thumps about the CH-53K lifting a JLTV...

Last month, the latest technology in the Corps came together — making history. . The CH-53K King Stallion demonstrated it’s heavy-lift capability, lifting a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle for the first time. . #MarineCorps #Marines #Technology #Innovation #CH53K #Helicopter #JLTV #USMC #New #OohRah #KingStallion

I can kinda understand the chest thumping.  The JLTV was gonna be problematic with the "aviation centric" Corps.

I don't know if the CH-53K demonstrating the ability to lift it equals supplying outlying squads with fuel, ammo, food etc...but it might be doable now.

We'll see if the plan is the right one or if they change direction.
