Tactical Airlift

Tactical airlift refers to the transportation of troops, equipment, and supplies by aircraft to support military operations in a specific area, usually close to the front lines. Unlike strategic airlift, which focuses on long-distance, large-scale movements, tactical airlift is about delivering resources quickly and efficiently within a theater of operations. This enables forces to be more agile, responding to immediate needs and challenges on the battlefield. Tactical airlift often involves smaller aircraft and can operate from various airfields, enhancing flexibility and responsiveness in military missions.
