“'An adversary that may be able to deny use of a military base or an airfield is going to have a nearly impossible time trying to defend every single linear mile of roads,' . . . 'It’s just too much territory for them to cover, and that gives us access in places and areas that they can’t possibly defend.'” -Lt. Col. Dave Meyer.

Wartime aviation dispersal training. Additionally feasibility of being able to operate out of improvised air strips and highways also evaluated.

"Remote Wyoming roads provide proving ground for Air Force special operators"

"U.S. Air Force special operators broke ground this week when they landed planes on highways in Wyoming, marking the latest effort by commandos experimenting with ways to ensure that air power can be delivered when airfields aren’t an option."

"During Exercise Agile Chariot, the Air Force for the first time landed an MQ-9 Reaper drone on a highway along with an MC-130J Commando II, two A-10 Thunderbolt IIs and two MH-6 Little Birds, the 1st Special Operations Wing, headquartered at Hurlburt Field, Fla., said in a statement Tuesday."
