Its an combat-imminent type operation.. all hands on deck and everyone at max attentiveness and hyper focused on their individual tasks and ready to carry out whatever they all need to do individually to succeed at their mission as a whole. So not the sort of thing you can do all the time without burning people out.
If I recall correctly, night combat insertions from transport helis in hostile territory use red lights too in the troop compartment, because its less intrusive on night vision which you may well need immediately upon disembark. In the pre-IR-goggles days anyways, not sure about now.
