air assault

Air assault (or air mobile) is a military term used to describe the movement of friendly assault forces by rotary-wing aircraft to engage and destroy enemy forces or to seize and hold key terrain. In addition to regular infantryman training, they receive intensive training in rappelling, rigging and air transportation. While air assault forces are inserted mainly by helicopter, paratroopers deploy by parachute. Light infantry units are equipped to deploy primarily by foot or by truck.
