Overview
Does likely continued U.S. involvement in counterinsurgencies call for adding specialized aircraft, training, or other resources to the general airlift fleet? In general, existing U.S. airlift forces can accomplish most such missions effectively. But continued operations likely will require reinforcement of the general airlift fleet and, perhaps acquisition of a small fleet element optimized for certain counterinsurgency missions.
