The Chinook is the main American air transport unit, with eight transport slots; infantry units take up 1 slot, vehicles take up 3 slots, and construction dozers take up 5 transport slots. It is also the USA's supply gatherer, capable of loading up $600 worth of supplies in one go.
As a special ability, Rangers can exit the Chinook via four ropes without the Chinook needing to land. Rangers can rappel themselves directly into civilian structures to garrison them. If the structure they rappel into is already garrisoned by enemy infantry, the Rangers will simply take it over by clearing out the enemies inside it.
Even if there is no supply drop off pad, a Chinook can unload at any allied Chinese supply center or supply stash.
