Re: Us oob
I can see uses for parachute infantry, glider weapons/light vehicle/supply carriers, and helo transport.
I don't see another "Market Garden" or anything similar. Smaller scale operations to seize key objectives or create a blocking position yes.
During Desert Storm they set up an advance helicopter support base to support the operations of the 7th Corps in it's "End Run". It seems to me this sort of operations is perfect for air/heloborne forces. Had the objective been occupied AND lightly defended a parachute landing with glider/helo follow up could seize it for future use.
