How do you deploy the Quad Tiltrotor?

The Quad Tiltrotor is too big to be hangared on any ship the Navy has so
it really needs to operate from land bases.

Would it just be used for delivering people and small items to flatops
(full carriers and Ampihbs) or use the ships as lillypads to support
deep raids?

Which service will actually buy any? Could the Marines buy a few to
support the KC-130 mission? (It would make a dandy tanker for
helicopters and V-22s, but it needs a land base unless it's going to sit
on the flightdeck all the time.)

How about the Air Force, would they use it to bring in real land
vehicles for CV-22 raids? How about to support forward Army bases?

As a huge, slow, unarmored transport it's going to make a dandy target,
so what do you escort it with?
