Paratroops Question

[kevin]

The 82nd Airborne drops HMMWV's, (and Sheridans once upon a time) all the time. This is how they do it:

Vehicle Crews drop with the Infantry.
LGOPs (Little Groups Of Paratroopers) form up and take initial objectives.
After the DZ (Drop Zone) is secured, patrols are sent out while additional C-130s are called.
These C-130s contain vehicles secured to pallets
These C-130s drop to low altitude in the DZ, like a few feet off the ground.
A drag chute is deployed, which pulls the palatilized vehicle out of the Hercy Bird.
HMMWVs are secured to the pallet by 4 tie-chains which can be removed in minutes.
The HMMWV is ready for action (although with only 1/4 tank of fuel)
Fuel and other cargo is deployed in special cargo pallets by the same method.

I feel like this can be and should be simulated by SPMBT.
