OOC: My unit is jumping as a battalion with grav suits to seize an airfield. Once the intial airfield is taken, Air mobile (think sorta like updated modern helicopter troops like eylesians), Gunships and CAS(close air support) and heavy direct fire support weapons and artillery along with fuel, ammunition, and mechanic units will be airlifted in to form a FOB (Foward Operating base) and Fire base
Oh, and also, as a sorta educational note, because not every studies these things like I do, there is 3 kinds of Airborne troops. First is traditional parachute airborne troops (or in this case grav chutes) that jump out of planes and on the ground serve as light infantry, very much like the WW2 82nd Airbone of Band of Brothers fame. Not in use very much these days for large scale landings, but used more for smaller operations and special forces.
The second is Airmobile or Air Cav airborne, flying around in Helicopters and with Helicopter gunships, like you see in Vietnam and in the movie apoycalpse now. These units pack alot of firepower and have good air support but are vunerable to AA fire to an extent
Here is the Air assault scene from Apoccaylpse now, in case anyone is European or something and hasnt seen it. Essentially you fly in and blow the living Bejeezus out of of the landing zone, and take out whatever objective or seize the terrain you need, then hop back on the choppers and go do it again
The third type is Mechanized Airborne, which only the soviets and later russians were crazy enough to do. Essentially, instead of using helicopters or fighting as light infantry, they drop the paratroopers with armored personal carriers and they rely on rather lightweight but powerful weapons like mortars, ATGMs, Automatic Grenade launchers, autocannons, MRLS systems, flamethrowers, and even a shoulder fired rocket that is something called thermobaric, which is like a flamethrower and a concussion grenade that collapses your lungs with the shockwaves, which is totally WH40k Grimdark
My unit is the first type of airborne and serves also as a special forces unit but is trained for all 3 types of operations, but at least for the setting of the game, most of the Vahallan units are trained to be mechanized Airborne, with some elite units having the first of 3-4 battalions being tradiontional parachute style troops to serve as pathfinders, recon troops, and as special forces for unconventional missions
