Default New Iraqi Airborne Strike Capability Spotted

Some Marine special ops (Recon ) guys told us they could put a platoon
in there and parachute out the back. How the heck they did that, we
never figured out.


In the back of an OV-10 ?


Actually, Tinkerbell, there was a version that had the space to do exactly
that. Not a platoon but a few troops. It was a leftover from the A1E
specs.

Very unlikely.


Actually, it was never done operationally that I know of but the capability
was always there.

Maybe a three man team..
