This is how we returned from Saudi back to Germany after Desert Storm. Shipped on a cargo ship.

Blackhawks. Do they break them down and put them in cargo planes? Put them on ships and take a 3 week cruise? Friend’s son in law flies and is going over for a year. It just got me wondering.about the logistics of getting shorter range aircraft to the otherside of the world. |

Psssst. Here is a hint. There is a lot of water between here and there. What conveyance might be able to carry large loads of short range aircraft over a lot of water?

As a general rule of thumb, people fly and equipment floats.
Exceptions are for things like the global response force (all designed to be rapidly deplorable by air) and MEUs on deployment, equipment that flies with the troops, and troops that float with the equipment. |

They air drop them from cargo planes.
They start the engine mid flight and The rotors unfold as the craft exits the ramp. It's pretty neat. |

Typically go by boat to Iraq, cargo planes to the Stan.
I think we could fit 9 in a C17. |

When we deployed CONUS it was C-5's, when we deployed to exotic places like Haiti it was boats.

Serious answer, there's a couple ways. If they want helicopters in a hurry they can stuff em inside a big plane and fly them over.
If time isn't that important, helicopter carriers, aircraft carriers, cargo ships all exist. |

Doctrinally, Army blackhawks are worldwide self deployable. You install extra fuel tanks and they can cross the Atlantic Ocean and reach anywhere in the world without air/boat transport. They also are the only US helicopter with full deice capability and can fly indefinitely in icing conditions to cross the Atlantic in all but the worst winter weather conditions.
But helicopters are slow, so you put them on a boat or plane to go long distances. The last significant "self deployment" I know of was desert storm - lots of helicopters flew themselves from west Europe to Saudi. But thats only a couple thousand miles and mostly over land so not a big deal. |

Just think of all the wasted resources moving all of this shit constantly back and forth. Should've just left a whole set there for people to fall in on. Fly/ship in/out as necessary for heavy maintenance or replacement

It's the same garbage for USAF units deploying. When a squadron deploys, their aircraft go with them. The logistics of taking a 12 or 18-ship package of A-10's across the pond is nuts. Maintenance teams deploy to staging locations across the path to the end location. Then the outgoing unit does the same in reverse. Instead of stationing a group of aircraft at a location and rotate the people in and out, we keep moving entire squadrons of planes, equipment, tools and parts back and forth. The cost is enormous and the toll on planes, parts and test equipment that aren't produced anymore is just plain silly.
