EDIT: I know Konrad mentioned that a PACT air assault was definitely under way, but I want to know what kind of resistance Eckhardt's assigned column is going to meet initially? Will they find loads of burned out structures, mingled with downed Migs? Or will they find the Brits waiting for them, untouched and ready to receive?

When Janusz's team is on the ground, they'll be the first in the aftermath of artillery fire on Lubeck and the surrounding areas. Since Lubeck Airfield is seen as a priority target, bombing it heavily or shelling it isn't really an option- and hence the Airborne to clear it out and hold as a potential Forward Air Operating Position. Though they do have some CAS in the form of the Hinds and Su-25s in area, and will eventually roll along to Lubeck itself to continue once friendly motorized units break through to their position. While the East doesn't use Maneuver Warfare a lot, helicopter-based teams were in use, and it lends itself to the more rapid nature of an airborne brigade- as a shock troop, not a hammer blow tanker-type force.
