Assault Airship

The Airship is a large aerial vehicle used as an assault ship by the US military. It was capable of carrying a ton of cargo, supplies, vehicles, and troops on to the battlefield. The airships had launch bays to deploy drop pods during an assault, allowing it to quickly drop in a small fire team of troops on the battlefield. During the mission "Induction", South Korea was under attack by the North Koreans, the U.S. military began an assault on Seoul to retake back the city, in which multiple of these airships were deployed. Many were shot down during the battle, but was able to drop most of it's occupants on to the ground. The airships are later seen at the start of a cutscene in the mission "Throttle" where these blimps are stationed on a U.S. Airbase, preparing for an invasion on Bagdad, Iraq.
