They can either use the limited runways to provide food, water and

Cargo in - people out. Same plane. It has to come back for more

Army engineers built runways in under a week during WW2 often in
hostile weather. If we want to open up air capacity, turn those lads
free to whack our a new one or two. Maybe we can charge it off as "on
the job" training to test our readiness.
