Interesting argument for light (very light) on-demand direct airlift for small, specialized cargo/passenger requirement.

Is there a requirement for this?
Is it affordable?
Does it offer secondary benefits?
It was interesting that the authors were/are respectively both fighter aircrew and not airlift aircrew advocating for this, thoughts?
