No it wouldn't, but this battlefield TTP used by the RLI would be extremely effective in RC east Afghanistan.

Fair enough 1SG. Next question would it be logistically cost effective to attempt RLI TTP in RC East, in your opinion?

Right on the border in Khost and Kunar - making sure nobody gets geographically confused and walks into Pakistan. More or less that what's been going on there just bigger sticks via Chinooks - If RLI had them I'm sure they would have used them. I want to say the RLI tactic was due to limited seat space in their birds. Due to terrain seems rather ideal - no IED highway.
