The 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade's Task Force Atlas has found a way to free up helicopters, saving the Army time and money in the process. They began a flight called the "Red Ball Express," where a small commuter plane used to ferry supplies and passengers throughout Regional Command-East.
Yes, the Army privatized part of their war effort with a hired plane and pilot, freeing up uniformed personnel for combat missions and saving money.
That's not very surprising.
