i've yet to see you defend your claim that all ammunition resupply in Iraq
is transported via air assets. care to cite the message ID where you did that?
i certainly provided several definitive cites showing otherwise.

The most amusing thing was that the claimed to know how ammunition is
moved - but did not even catch on to the term 'Class V.'

OFCS

You are simply adding to the demonstration of ignorance

"Class V" is a question of supply not logistics

ROTFL!

Thank you for demonstrating that you have no clue.

Do you really think that 'classes of supply' and the logistics of
moving them are separate issues?

Here is a clue for you (now you can say you have one):

The term 'priority of supply' is part of the logistics annex in an
Operations Order. Each supply category is given a priority and the
highest priorities are the focus of the logistics effort.

Here is another clue for you (now you can claim to have _two_ clues!):

Each class of supply has different movement priorities. For example:
toilet paper (a Class II item) would not be moved by air because it
tends to be a very low priority item.

Class III and V are high cube and mass items that are typically moved
on the ground. However - air movement is always planned for as a
contingency because of its criticality in fighting a battle.


Besides - you have still not explained why we should take your
uninformed opinion as to the effectiveness of the aircraft over that
of the people who actually fly it and maintain it.
