This book is more visual than text oriented, with usually two sentences per page. Those young readers who want military books will enjoy the live action photography.

Official United States military photos from the United States Department of Defense and U.S. Army fill the pages with planes and helicopters both on the ground and in the air. Troops are shown walking into the back’s of open carriers, as well, and repelling out of helicopters. Page ten shows the interior of a C-17 Globemaster (most likely) filled with four rows of 22+ troops in full army gear waiting to get to their destination.

There are specially trained people to load the various transports. Planes are used for equipment, such as, tanks and vehicles, as well as for moving troops. Helicopters are used for moving weapons, fuel, and rescue missions. “Huge ships carry thousands of soldiers. The ships can hold thousands of tons of cargo.” (14)

“Transport is the first step in many military actions!” (20)
