US Army Reiterates Need for Cargo Aircraft

Army Technology reports that the US Army still needs a way to get critical equipment deep into the battlefield quickly, despite signs that Pentagon leaders plan to sharply scale back the L-3 Communications Holdings Joint Cargo Aircraft programme, an army general said on Thursday.
"Nothing has changed with respect to the requirement," Brigadier General Walter Davis, director of Army Aviation, told the Air and Land Forces Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee at a hearing. "We still have a requirement for the capabilities that the JCA provides."
