The involvement of the Air Force, in particular through the use of strategic transport aircraft but also through the provision of aerodrome infrastructure and cargo and passenger processing capabilities, makes the deployment of forces a key element in the economy and the success of joint operations. The RSOM process is mainly characterized as complex and the involvement of the air force through the use of specialized forces and means in the transport of forces can be considered in some operational situations as the best option, in some cases the only choice within the deployment stage of the joint operation.
