The network said the troops were from the 173rd airborne brigade and seized the airfield to clear the way for armored tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles.

Are the tanks and Bradleys to be airlifted in?

Anybody know where the airfield is?

You can't airlift in Abrams tanks in any great number - much too big, even for C-5's.
