do -- CARGO_GROUP

  --- @type CARGO_GROUP
  -- @field Core.Set#SET_CARGO CargoSet The collection of derived CARGO objects.
  -- @field #string GroupName The name of the CargoGroup.
  -- @extends Cargo.Cargo#CARGO_REPORTABLE
  
  --- Defines a cargo that is represented by a @{Wrapper.Group} object within the simulator.
  -- The cargo can be Loaded, UnLoaded, Boarded, UnBoarded to and from Carriers.
  -- 
  -- The above cargo classes are used by the following AI_CARGO_ classes to allow AI groups to transport cargo:
  -- 
  --   * AI Armoured Personnel Carriers to transport cargo and engage in battles, using the @{AI.AI_Cargo_APC} module.
  --   * AI Helicopters to transport cargo, using the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Helicopter} module.
  --   * AI Planes to transport cargo, using the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Airplane} module.
  --   * AI Ships is planned.
  -- 
  -- The above cargo classes are also used by the TASK_CARGO_ classes to allow human players to transport cargo as part of a tasking:
  -- 
  --   * @{Tasking.Task_Cargo_Transport#TASK_CARGO_TRANSPORT} to transport cargo by human players.
  --   * @{Tasking.Task_Cargo_Transport#TASK_CARGO_CSAR} to transport downed pilots by human players.
