what is the difference between "send" and "send in"?

0Fx: A U.S. military transport aircraft with relief supplies is expected to land in Myanmar on Monday on a mission that officials hope will help forge a relationship to allow the United States to 01font01i00send in02i02font00 disaster experts.02br
02br
00Send in: To cause (someone) to arrive in or become involved in a particular place or situation.02br
02br
00According to the explaination, "send in" has a similar meaning with 'send". It seemed that "send" can also be placed as "send in" here. 02br
02br
00So it is hard for me to decide how to use "send" and "send in", please help me. thank you!0-
