From two points of view: one is that it means that when we intend to lift something that is ours we can actually lift it on the times we say we're going to lift it; the other one is that we can offer assistance to other countries that don't have the lift. We can help lift their resources in, in Africa or Asia or wherever else. We can also use strategic lift as one of our contributions to various missions.
