Just to make sure: It's not possible to place a specific unit from the database, för example Delta Saboteurs in the proximity of an airbase with a C-130 and tell those Deltas to board that aircraft?

Dumb Question
I load up a CH-53 with Marines on a cargo mission, fly them 200 mi and drop them in a "defined" area.

Can they become cargo again? (IE; assign them to an LZ as cargo to move them back out)

Thanks

You will need to add the mounts that make up the Delta Saboteurs to a part of the airbase as cargo before being able to load them onto the C-130.

Oh quite all right, definitely not stupid questions. Its a complicated new feature.

A little bit of background
A Facility (aka a Land Unit) is made up of a number of mounts.
When working with a Facility, a mount represents a vehicle or a squad / section of infantry.
Cargo works on mounts, not facilities.

This video here shows how to load cargo into an airbase, then load the cargo onto a C-130, and then paradrop the cargo via the C-130.

What about transporting a small vehicle with a recon team, but no paradrop. Example, I want to fly in undetected, a recon team on a V-22. But, I also want to deploy the M1161 Growler with them so they don't have to walk. No landing fields where I want to go. Would it require something like a LUA Script to create a "runway-grade taxiway, 450m, Med Aircraft" whenever a heli/Osprey hovers at min altitude for say 1 minute? The 450m prevents I think any aircraft besides helos and VSTOL from landing there.

If this at all possible, then I am looking forward to when munitions and fuel can be considered as cargo. FARPs can be a reality - munitions brought in by CH-53s, V-22s bring the gas, to either refuel F-35s in the air, or transfer their fuel to FARP fuel stores. Airlift in some 155s and some land and air security, and now you have a firebase! :)

Oh, back to the paradrop, if you haven't seen this, its priceless. Is there a small % chance of failure on the paradrop?? This video says there should be:
