Not saying it is in this case, because I don't know, but it is, on occasion, part of the negotiated deal or SOFA that civilian transport be used when and where capable.
And, it could well have been yet another SNAFU such as occurred when Rad Bn was deploying to Korea from Japan for a Team Spirit ex way back in the day.
Seems there was a FUBAR is allocating airframes for the move. There was a plane. It could haul the trailer which contained Rad Bn operating systems or it could haul the vehicle that hauled the trailer. But it couldn't do both. And you couldn't load the trailer without the hauler, or move the trailer out of the plane without the hauler.
