GPMG,
I did have a detailed answer to your post - but I have edited to just simply remind you of how the helicopter helped rapidly move men and equipment around the battlefield (as in NI and early days in Bos) in order to assist with protection through surprise and always keeping the terrorist guessing.
Sadly I know that there is no Clingon super cloak force field just as I know that a combination of environment (= aircraft performance) and not enough helicopters results in ground forces having to operate in predictable and slow patrols that are subject to dickers and IEDs.
