Parachutisme militaireLe parachutisme militaire est la technique consistant à mettre en place au sol, par parachute, du personnel, du matériel ou des approvisionnements dans le cadre d'opérations militaires. L'utilisation du parachute comme moyen de secours n'entre pas dans ce cadre. Histoire du parachutisme militaire Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, le parachute fut utilisé par des aérostiers (observateurs installés dans les nacelles des ballons captifs).

Military helicopterA military helicopter is a helicopter that is either specifically built or converted for use by military forces. A military helicopter's mission is a function of its design or conversion. The most common use of military helicopters is transport of troops, but transport helicopters can be modified or converted to perform other missions such as combat search and rescue (CSAR), medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), airborne command post, or even armed with weapons for attacking ground targets.
Opération militaireA military operation is the coordinated military actions of a state, or a non-state actor, in response to a developing situation. These actions are designed as a military plan to resolve the situation in the state or actor's favor. Operations may be of a combat or non-combat nature and may be referred to by a code name for the purpose of national security. Military operations are often known for their more generally accepted common usage names than their actual operational objectives.
AirliftAn airlift is the organized delivery of supplies or personnel primarily via military transport aircraft. Airlifting consists of two distinct types: strategic and tactical. Typically, strategic airlifting involves moving material long distances (such as across or off the continent or theater), whereas a tactical airlift focuses on deploying resources and material into a specific location with high precision. Depending on the situation, airlifted supplies can be delivered by a variety of means.
