American Airborne units were the first to parachute drop M551 Sheridan light tanks into combat to link up with M113 Gavin APC task forces to collapse the PDF and prevent Noriega from escaping Panama in 1989. The Israelis airlanded M113s at Entebbe, the Australians into East Timor in 1999, the British CH-47 air-meched Scimitar light tanks into the Balkans to avoid land mines and fly over the Sava river blocking our non-swimming medium-to-heavy vehicles. In 1978 the Soviets did the first heliborne MVM, into East Africa, a feat they repeated in Afghanistan later that year. MVM air-mech combat operations have already been successful beginning with the German Me-323s airlanding SP assault guns into North Africa, British Hamilcars glider-landing Tetrarch and Locust light tanks on D-Day and the Rhine river crossing, Russian assault guns and BMDs airlanded into Czechoslavakia in 1968.
We have 500+ C-130s, 180 C-17s, soon C-27J fixed-wing transports and 400 CH-47 Chinook helicopters to airdrop or airland Gavins the former at higher speeds and altitudes to avoid enemy air defenses than any non-existent tilt-rotor. The truth is we already have 15,000+ air-transportable, amphibious, closed-terrain, cross-country-mobile 11-ton M113 Gavin light tank/APCs that have been used for years in successful air-mech operations by several allied armies including the U.S.
RAND's retired LTC David Johnson argued against this concept, saying all we have to perform air-mech with is road-restricted 20-ton Stryker trucks that are okay but somehow open-terrain cross-country mobile, 27-ton FCS tracks that are too vulnerable and the JHL, which is too easy to shoot-down while implying that air-mech has never worked in past combat operations. BG Swann argued that we don't have any equipment to perform air-mech with and must buy new 27-ton FCS tracks and giant tilt-rotor JHL airlifters to obtain air-mech capabilities he claims we don't have and never had.

Johnson's anti-article, " Air Mechanization: An Expensive and Fragile Concept" ( Military Review, January-February 2007), I found embedded factual errors that were either to justify new

The REAL Stryker - Chapter 2: ProtectionĪir-Mech-Strike Study Group Confronts U.S. German Panzer General Guderian said after the fall of France in 1940 " It was the TRACK not the tank that won for us" Lawrence Korb, He is vice president of the Council on Foreign Relations and former assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan administration "Not only have they provided critical capabilities in waging urban battles, but they have proven surprisingly relevant in the conduct of counterinsurgency operations." "Tanks and armored personnel carriers have been out of favor with the advocates of ' military transformation' for so long that their value and versatility in Iraq has come as something of a revelation," the report says.
