The C-17 is used for both tactical and strategic airlift, moving troops, equipment, and supplies efficiently. Its rapid loading and unloading capabilities make it essential for military logistics.

The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is a versatile aircraft used for airdrops, medical evacuations, and global transport of troops and cargo. It meets the modern military’s logistical needs with efficiency. Replacing the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter, the C-17 increases the Air Force’s airlift capacity. Its main goal is to relieve the C-5 fleet, letting it focus on oversized cargo.
