One of my last active duty jobs was in the Plans and Operations section of the G4 (General Staff section that deals with logistics) and lemme tell you, there were probably hundreds of convoys just like this flitting all over the area. They can't all be covered like a wet blanket. Somebody had a look at the MSR (Main Support Route) and tried to ascertain the likelihood that they might be attacked. They would've looked at the availability and distance to a place of safety and/or reinforcements. Air assets are almost never allocated to such events. It takes too long to coordinate air cover for a convoy. Especially when there are so many.

ir assets are almost never allocated to such events. It takes too long to coordinate air cover for a convoy. Especially when there are so many.Not on top all the time, I understand that. But where was the QRF for this type of emergency? There are no helos waiting on the pad for emergencies? I can't believe it.
