Why would you want this over just airdropping supplies?
Also I’m no military need, but if the road between your basecamp and the frontline can easily be blocked then I don’t think you actually hold that territory and may have over extended yourself and no matter how many supplies you drop/“Enemy” “combatants”/civilians you kill, you’re likely losing the war (see Rhodesia (LOL) or Vietnam)
Well, a suborbital flight is less than an hour to anywhere. That absolutely has its advantages if cost and efficiency aren’t factors, but the payload would still have to be prepared and loaded. At that point, it just sounds like a way to compensate for bad logistics. It could be legitimately useful for emergency/surprise operations, but those also aren’t something you want to build your overall strategy around.
