Re: Helicopter Ammo reload
I know during Gulf I the USMC had forward resupply/rearm sites for AH-1's.
Three trucks, 1 fuel, 1 ammo, 1 basic maintenance.
They operated just out of mortar/light artillery range of the front.
Helo radios for resupply, resupply unit gives them a grid coordinate, trucks pull in, helo lands, refuel & rearm, helo returns to combat, trucks move to the next location.
The resupply column intentionally DID NOT set up a "permanent" resupply point.
