It depends on if the conveyor is moving toward or away from the map room.

A question to clear up another myth: If troops have been porked at our base, will dropping friendly troops on our base shorten the re-up time of troops at that base, or re-supply troops?

No. Only field supplys do supply...ehh... fields

Thank you for the reply, but I need clarification on this quote from the training site.

Troop Availability at the Field
Troops must be available for loading on troop transports such as the C-47, M-3 and LVT-2.  The rebuild time of damaged bunker objects is determined by whether a resupply of personnel from the training barracks of that country has arrived at the field

I read that as a troop re-supply and not field supplies.

......resupply of personnel from the training barracks of that country has arrived at the field.......

Thats a strat target. Commonly referred to ingame as "Grunt Training".
Part of the supply convoys supply comes from this strat and thats what that statement refers to.

So what they are saying is, the troops can only be re-supplied by convoy and not through a re-supply mission?

Barracks, ( just like radar, field guns, ammo bunkers) are routinely resupplied by convoys. But of course you can speed that up by delivering airfield supplies yourself.

Thank you.

I believe i witnessed 2x at a V-base troop resets by friendlies.  It seems to have worked if memory serves me correctly.

HiTech, can you please clarify this with the community?

Yes, pretty please with Cragenmore on top?

Troops, Ammo, Fuel, AND ACK can be resupplied with field supplies at any base and city.

Hangars (Vehicle, Fighter, and Bomber) CANNOT.

I've also heard that dropping field supplies in a town can restore the town ACK, but I haven't tested it personally.

 I don't know, but I think the 10 minute time limit is what saving the base. I the heat of battle that 10 minutes can go by real quick.

Here is another Myth that maybe we can get cleared up. If you fly your
C-47 in and drop troops, then 1 of the poor guys chutes does not open and he died. Can you eject from your C-47 float down to the map room and walk in to be the 10th troop in and capture the base? I have not tested this so I have no idea if it works, but my guess would be that it does not.

No.
