A.I. Reinforcements?

to keep you guessing the AI does indeed sometimes set up reinforcements in a campaign. It can catch you out & is I think a random thing. They are not reinforcements as such as in new units but part of its force using delayed entry so they are not extra units.

Entirely correct, and that feature has been around for 5 years at least.

AI heliborne infantry and a few gunships will usually be held back till later in the battle as well. It's better to try to grab some (hopefully unguarded) objectives in your rear while your main force are deployed forwards than tussle for one in the middle
