The drop is often preceded by an Air Reconnaissance run with a P-47 Thunderbolt to reveal the target area, or the use of other scouting units (like a camouflaged Sniper). The Airborne Squad can be dropped into any visible location on the map (i.e. Once on the ground, the squad's innate defensive bonuses kick in, making them very hard to kill. While the Paratroopers are making their landing, they are vulnerable to several different weapons (mostly anti-aircraft guns) who can rapidly kill them. The Airborne Squad will parachute down into the targeted location, a process preceded by a green smoke flare, and taking up to 13 seconds to complete. The ability (called "Airborne Infantry") costs 375 375, 6 6 to use, and will call in a single Airborne Squad. The ability to call in an Airborne Squad is unlocked when the player purchases the Paratroopers Global Upgrade from the Airborne Company Command Tree - a cheap upgrade often purchased very early on. The Airborne Squad itself performs a similar role to that of Ranger Squads, serving as powerful anti-tank troops with good anti-infantry capabilities thrown in. Half of its abilities are related to aerial attacks with P-47 Thunderbolt planes, but it's the other half that provides the true potential for surprise attacks: the ability to land Airborne Squads and M1 57mm Anti Tank Guns behind enemy lines.
The American Airborne Company bases much of its strength on surprise attacks.
