I've asked the good Major Shek to come in on this, he would have more operational info than I on this. To the rest of you, it's just not as simple as load tables and operational cost. You have to land combat viable formations which is not always cost-effective (ie, deliver all the ammo at once instead of piece meal as required by each indivdiual platoon and company).

The load tables and operational costs would inform in a rudimentary way as to the fleet required to lift. There is more to it than that and of that there is no doubt, but this basic parameter would indicate to those who are not conversant with the nitty gritties of actual warfare as on the ground that is to be executed of the number of aircraft required for a quick response infantry vs armour.
The initial airlift and the ships afloat in the vicinity and as is already even now prepositioned (if I am not mistaken since I have read this somewhere) will look after the immediate logistic needs and thereafter the graduated build up would do the needful.
