How to use the 52nd BR Air-Portable Division

Post by Dereck »

How exactly does one use these Air Portable units?

Would something like this be possible?

1-Invade France
2-Capture an airfield
3-Fly in the Air Portable Division

If so how is air transporting done?
PO2 US Navy (1980-1986);
USS Midway CV-41 (1981-1984)
Whidbey Island, WA (1984-1986)
Naval Reserve (1986-1992)

To answer the questions, yes, that is how it is used.

Works well if you do a deep airbase capture then fly it in. It is a pretty solid unit that can defend well.
