About

1-1 Chapter 1 Aerial Delivery Distribution on the Battlefield Today's aerial delivery includes airdrop, airland, and sling-load operations. Airdrop and airland distribution are joint (Army and U.S. Air Force [USAF]) operations that require large fixed-wing aircraft; sling-load operations are usually unilateral using rotary-wing aircraft. Historically, U.S. military forces have been called on to execute aerial delivery operations in support of unilateral and allied force combat operations or humanitarian relief efforts throughout the world. Since the fall of the Soviet Bloc, the threat environment has become far more uncertain than before; the forecast is that it will become even more ambiguous and dangerous in the future.
