I have actually had something to do with "rolling off" and "rolling on" a prototype military something into and out of a Hercules and the idea of a five minute turn around is a fantasy after the design of the thing is engineered and tied down to military specifications.

You need to think litres per hour delivered to the fire front. Size isn't everything.
