It looks like there are no helicopters added to the coy to deal with the support weapons teams (mortars etc). In early years with the larger sea knights etc, not a problem. The later helos are smaller though.
In that case - use the helos in the rifle platoons to move the troops in lift #1, then go back and move the support weapons in lift #2. Simples.
There is no such thing as a dedicated lift transport helicopter inside an infantry formation in reality, bar a very few USA air cavalry items. these integrated helo, or glider or transport plane formations are mainly provided for convenience, or the AI's use on the occasion it buys an airmobile group.
I myself
never use them since the helicopters are
tied to the rifle platoon HQ for command and control, in any formation that uses that style (rather than using helo platoons at coy level). Therefore once they have dropped the riflemen, they will tend to be out of command (from the rifle platoon HQ) once you fly about and attempt to move other units than the original passengers.
I
always buy my transport helos separately as stand-alone air formations, therefore. Helos "belong" to your brigadier (and he only has them on loan from corps or army) - and not to some spotty 2nd Lt
.
Leave those integrated H formations to the AI, or just use them for para drops or glider landings - since the transports in that case have no need to worry about command and control as they disappear after the insertion.
