Rapid Supply drop effectively halves the time you need to wait for your next supply drop (45 minutes goes down to 22 minutes and 30 seconds for 1 supply drop). if you get stacked up with a 50 minute rapid supply, you effectively have 2 supply drops for the same amount of time you would need for 1. It does suck to get Enlisted Rapid Supplies, but if you get multiples of them, they can help you out a lot.
