On land?

[edit]

Is there a similar name given to carrying stuff about by helicopter while over land?Nickpheas (talk) 11:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not in the same sense, really. It's one feature of airmobility, but resupply is normally just resupply on land. Intothatdarkness 21:04, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
