In-theater mission for tactical transport aircraft are broken down into initial deployment from rear logistics base, resupply (ALOC-airline of communication) and tactical troop and equipment movements; in-theater airlift support requirements are evaluated in terms of operational parameters which influence design of aircraft, including cargo dimensions, density and payload, delivery times allowable, delivery radii, loading and turnaround times, vertical vs conventional takeoff and landing, and vulnerability; effect on operational parameters, due to differences in support requirements between three mission categories, is shown; conclusions are drawn regarding degree of design compromise required among three mission categories.
