C-17 is usually the machine of choice for transporting anything from Gazelle to Chinook to where they need to be. AN-124 is prohibitively expensive. The only time I've seen one used was to the Falklands carrying outsize equipment that could only have gone by sea otherwise.
Saif Sareea 3 is about to start in Oman. That has a Challenger 2 Squadron, a Warrior Armoured Infantry Battle Group, a CVRT Squadron, Puma and Chinook. The armoured vehicles go by sea.
