Hi. I was a C-5 cargo aircraft mechanic that can fly anywhere across the world without stopping. There is no need to deploy us or cargo planes when they can just fly there or take 1 or 2 mechanics with the pilots. I am an A-10 fighter aircraft mechanic now and can deploy but probably wont because the plane is too outdated, slow and old to be useful against advanced military anti-aircraft weapons that Russia and China have.
