Leave it to the Japanese.

Pretty smart, I think.

You could take it a step further. Add on to the rack to make it able
to hold 3 bikes on each side. Land, quickly mount up 6 soldiers with
full gear on bikes, and dismount. 6 troops on bikes could carry a lot
of gear a great distance, in a big hurry. That could be a pretty
formidable force, I would think.



Not military, but they also have motorcycle fire response units in some
of the Japanese cities, they can move faster and easier through traffic
jams. also the narrow side streets. regular trucks respond as well, but
the bikes can get there faster in most cases..

IIRC:
the French in Paris tried it as well, motorcycle fire units, to run
ahead of the regular trucks and medical teams..
