Is a C-295 the solution to the all our airlift needs? No
Is a C-295 better than nothing? Yes
The C-295 is a small tactical airlifter, it is good for moving 436L pallets and troops over short distances. The Spanish will say it take a Vamtac but that is really pushing it and the range drops dramatically. To rotate troops out of Lebanon would take more than a week using a C-295. It would be good as a start to train with, to start to develop operational procedures etc.
