When loading military passengers (particularly troops), they have to carry a lot of individual baggage, often including weapons, ammunition, rations, duffelbags, communications gear, night-vision equipment, etc. If those "carry-on" items are preloaded rather than carried on board individually, separate containers or loading bins are required in the aircraft . This factor accounts for such provisions.
