Re: Paratroops Question
As a paratrooper for most of my career, heavy drops was not the best thing on this planet, great concept, but not worth it. It caused alot of vehicles to be redlined(not working) as soon as they hit the ground. But one thing that was working was LAPEING, deployment of vehicles were quicker, it took out missing drop zones, and it was delivered in less than 30 sec in a ball a dust or snow.
unpacking was alittle different, like a fellow trooper from the 82nd said it took awhile to unpack during his time, I was in the 82nd and the 3rd ranger bat. during the 90's and it is still slow, and if you think unpacking a jeep took awhile try unpacking a hummer.
