Yeah, some branches of the military do send entire units to aid productions. "JAG", for instance, used to get enormous amounts of support from the Marines and the Navy, and I think there was a permanent liaison between the production and the DoD set up just for them (I remember one episode of the show where the production was actually loaned several MV-22 Ospreys, and this was before the Osprey had even gotten into service). Also, non-military related, the NYPD has a unit that is intended to aid film productions.
But generally speaking, the DoD is usually pretty cautious about who gets loaned its equipment and personnel. A movie like "Stop-Loss", for instance, would never received DoD support (that movie used Humvees and a fake M1-A1 rented from Army Trucks, Inc.) Last edited by MT2008; 04-28-2009 at 01:17 AM.

Weren't there a lot of military support for the Transformer movie? Those Ospreys, F-22s, and that Spectre gunship was really firing on the set.
