air direct delivery
The intertheater air movement of cargo or personnel from an airlift point of embarkation to a point as close as practicable to the user’s specified final destination, thereby minimizing transshipment requirements. Air direct delivery eliminates the traditional Air Force two step intertheater and intratheater airlift transshipment mission mix. See also intertheater airlift; intratheater airlift.
