See how far up that airborne force is....it set's up a pincer move....to choke off the Syrians if they move into the area down around the Lebanon-Israeli border.
By placing that force in that area the Israelis have a force on the Syrians rear if they come in down in the Bent Jaibayal(sp) region.
I don't recommend trying to stop a multi-corps armored force with a pincers composed of a light AB unit, even if the other arm matches the invading force.
Good way to lose an entire AB unit.
53 miles from the front lines to the drop zone, FWIW.
