Wish I were closer to Georgia. Something is up.

Since when are troops using civilian airports when redeploying?
I've deployed multiple times, I flew commercial until I made it to BWI then I took a contracted plane. I've also flown commercial all the way when I went to PACOM.
Always picked up my guy at BWI no matter where he was coming home from.
I most always flew comm into PACOM, but also usually most of the way into Ramstein.
How do they usually redeploy?
Using military infrastructure/bases? Where their land equipment like vehicles are?
Civilian aircraft are used a ton in redployment and re-deployment, especially while in the continental US. I've flew on a civilian aircraft to and from Bangor, Maine when deploying internationally while with the Army.
Interesting, supposedly this is going on in other places as well like NY and LA.
No. That's not the usual route at all
