The only unknown was what type of helicopter they would use and the speed of said helicopter. I imagine Blackhawks or Chinooks if just carrying personnel.

Also, no helos in our inventory could lift something like an M1 tank. An MRAP would be at the edge of helo lift. And this would be still be costly and time consuming to externally load each item.
Now, could your joeverse contain a VSTOL aircraft that could lift heavy armor?
Yeah I thought of heavy equipment right after I posted. I agree it would be impractical to transport heavy equipment by air. In my current fanfic the Joe team does not have heavy equipment such as tanks, artillery, etc. However they still have light vehicles so those would still need to be transported. I may just have my Joes stationed at the PIT in Utah or some other area with an airfield.
Assuming the Utah PIT had an airfield. I was out of Joes altogether at that point in my life (when PIT 3 was introduced that is).
