1. Great. How? This requires that the hole can be repeatedly opened and closed and that when it is closed it is safe from potential enemies. How is this accomplished?

2. That is a bunch of bikes that have limited range and serve relatively little use otherwise. Why not just have a Humvee (or such)?

3. That presumes that aircraft are available and this is the best use for them. Not saying it can't happen, just seems like an expensive solution to a cheap problem.

The kit in question is designed for a very different purpose, the basic load already has everything needed for survival.
