 In modern military operations, soldiers with the more reach out ability, that are able to deploy and receive supplies to their staging locations and theaters have the advantage in combat operations.
 Although air crafts like these are not only used for military purposes, they have been used in time of humanitarian needs and emergency, like flooding and other natural disasters, bringing food and relief materials to people.

Some of these air crafts type can also drop items and supplies on pallets to remote areas from the air in locations where there are no air ports.

As big, powerful countries expand their political, economic and military policies and influence across the world, the giant air lifters have been fulfilling their roles for might and strength.

The non military use of these air crafts are of more benefits to humans in ensuring massive civilian supplies in times of needs.
