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

I say no. If you look at the battle of the Mosul dam I don't think a 4 man stick TTP would have been successful. A much larger coordinated effort is needed due to ISIS's use of technical's. You might end up losing a bird or two and have another Blackhawk down on your hands.
