Senate Bill Shorts Gear for Troops

[Tribesman]

The CH-53E stallion is a heavy lift bird. It has a different mission than the medium lift sea knight CH-46.

But the CH-53D is a medium lift , that is also being replaced by the V-22 , and the D does carry more than the V-22 .
But still no comment on the actual topic , why is this being funded by money intended for different (more urgent ?) current needs .

Why do the marines require the ability to strike 200 miles inland?
Rory would you like to think about that a little ? Like as , when do you park an LPH on the actual beach

edit to add , Divinus since you mention the E as a different mission ,what about the J ? That is being replaced by the 22 and no way does the Osprey have a higher capacity at all .
