:''With the advent of powered armor as a viable battlefield weapon, a problem has appeared: no AV or helicopter is really powerful enough to haul a full squad of PA suits! Even the monster [[SM-Dragon|S-M Dragon]] only carries 4 tons, barely enough for five [[Arasaka]] Standard-B suits (or three Boris suits), and the [[AV-9 Multi-Purpose Aerodyne|AV-9]] can only fit two [[Militech]] [[Militech Commando (ACPA)|Commandos]]! Since the normal U.S. Army PA squad is four 800kg suits and a 1500kg "Pigman," the Army commissioned Bell to build the UH-10 Powered Armor Personnel Carrier. Mitsubishi/Arasaka is also selling this carrier under commercial license.<br/>In tight spots where the helicopter cannot land to deploy the suits, the PAs either jump (using jump jets or parafoils to slow them), or are lowered by winch.''<ref name=":0">{{RefCP|2020C3|52}}</ref>
