    82nd Combat Aviation Brigade

    Task Force Atlas's "Red Ball Express" is one of a few small commuter planes shuttling troops and parts across RC-East for the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade. By using the plane instead of combat helicopters to shuttle parts between the brigade's five task force locations, they've reduced delivery time for critical parts from more than two days to just 17 hours. The Red Ball Express has moved more than 200 tons of cargo since beginning operations in November 2011.
