The lack of air delivery use in operational environments is neither the fault of the logistician nor the aviators who deliver the supplies. The responsibility falls on the ground commander; he must know his available capabilities. Training with air delivery while in garrison, prior to deployment, will increase the ability of a ground commander to accomplish the mission by effectively utilizing all of his support assets. In this age of irregular warfare, the major battle is not always enemy. Often, the greatest challenge is the ability to support the forces. If commanders maintain their myopic view of trucking logistics throughout every fight, then they are failing to utilize all tools at their disposal. A culture void of creativity and flexibility then develops that lacks the mind set to utilize all assets for generating tempo on the battlefield, whether conventional or irregular.
