I wonder how many C-17s it took to move this package. I see 4x HIMARS and 3x Humvee variants. I have seen 2 HIMARS loaded on a single C-17 before, but wonder if a third would be required for the extra Humvees? The developing tactics around the HI-RAIN concept are intriguing, but this particular employment of the concept would be a lot cooler if you could do it with 2 C-17s instead of 3.
