Land Mobility

摘要

Special forces used to be called upon to operate behind enemy lines. In today's scenario they are still required to move stealthily, although the term "enemy lines" no longer means much in asymmetrical warfare conditions. This being said, and depending on their method of insertion, operational detachments still have to move over long distances carrying heavy equipment. The method of insertion is definitely a key element in the choice of land mobility vehicles. An operation can be conducted without any land mobility support, such as in a "HAHO" insertion, with limited assets when medium helicopters are used, or with more capable vehicles if heavy rotary-wing or fixed-wing aircraft are involved.
