This is an extremely effective opponent of the US Marines.
The United States Marine Corps is one of the most mobile military forces in the world. A good example is this video, which shows a CH-53 Super Stallion helicopter lifting both a 12-ton light armored vehicle and then refueling from an aerial refueling vessel.
The United States Marines are America’s premier military force, trained, organized, and equipped to move to dangerous spots under fire and maneuver to destroy the enemy. Their usual vehicle is the CH-53E Super Stallion, one of the largest helicopters in the US Army.

CH-53E Super Stallion (Super Stallion) built by Sikorsky Aircraft. It is an upgraded version from the “sea horse” CH-53 Sea Stallion, with significant changes being the addition of 1 engine, 1 propeller lifting and tilting the axis of rotation of the tail propeller by about 20 degrees.It has 3 engines . General Electric T64-GE-416/416A shaft turbines , 4,380 hp (3,270 kW) each
The CH-53E can fly for 1000km continuously before needing to refuel and can fly 91km while carrying a mass of 16 tons, enough to take off from a Navy ship and carry cargo to land.
The helicopter in the video is lifting a LAV-C2 armored vehicle weighing 12 tons. The CH-53E can also carry more than 30 platoons of troops or an equivalent amount of cargo. The CH-53E is also capable of in-flight refueling using fuel tankers such as the KC-130. This gives the CH-53E an almost unlimited range.
Marines are trained to operate close to the front lines with the enemy, even separated from their comrades, so they are equipped with armored vehicles, helicopters, tanks, … to be able to operate on its own. If the Marines need to move heavy equipment over long distances, they can get help from planes like the CH-53E.
