## Section Iii-Rigging Four A-22 Cargo Bags With One-Round Containers Description Of Load

2-28. Four A-22 cargo bags with Dragon or Dragon II missiles in one-round containers are rigged on an 8-
foot, type V airdrop platform with one G-11B cargo parachute for LVAD from a C-130 or C-17 aircraft. Each A-22 cargo bag with missile containers is 48 inches long, 48 inches wide, and weighs 693 pounds.

## Preparing Platform

2-29. Prepare an 8-foot, type V airdrop platform as shown in Figure 2-29.

## Step:

1.
Inspect, or assemble and inspect, an 8-foot, type V platform as outlined in TM 10-1670- 268-20&P/TO 13C7-52-22.
2.
Install a tandem link to the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3.
3.
Install a tandem link to the rear of each platform side rail using holes 14, 15, and 16.
4.
Install clevises on bushing 3 of each front tandem link.
5.

6.
Starting at the front of the right platform side rail, install clevises on the bushings bolted to
holes 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13. Repeat for the left side.
7.
Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises 1 through 10 on the right side, and
1A through 10A on the left side.
8.
Label the tiedown rings according to TM 4-48.02/MCRP 4-11.3J/NAVSEA SS400-AB-
MMO-010 REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5.

## Building And Placing Honeycomb Stacks

2-30. Prepare and position the honeycomb stacks as shown in Figure 2-30.



Notes.
1. Measurements from the front of the platform are taken from the front edge of the first panel. 2. Measurements from the rear edge of the platform are taken from the rear edge of the last panel.

1 Build the first stack by using the following pieces of honeycomb, and position the honeycomb
flush with the front edge of the platform.

2 Build the second stack by using three pieces of honeycomb (18- by 96-inch). Center the stack
over the joint where the second and third panels join together and between the side rails.
3 Build the third stack by repeating step 1 above, and position the honeycomb 1 inch from the rear
edge of the platform.

## Preparing Load

2-31. Prepare four A-22 cargo bags with nine one-round containers as shown in Figures 2-31 and 2-32;
however, do not use the skid or skid honeycomb. Close the A-22 cargo bags by following the steps in TM
4-48.03/MCRP 4-11.3C/TO 13C7-1-11.

1 Center the A-22 cover on the sling assembly (with the outside of the cover down). 2 Center a 3/4- by 48- by 48-inch piece of plywood on the cover. 3 Form a 30-foot lashing according to TM 4-48.02/MCRP 4-11.3J/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO-010
REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5 and lay the strap across the center of the plywood from side to side.
Make sure the inspection port holes in the missile containers face the front and rear of the platform.

1 Set three containers on the plywood so that the 47 1/2 inch sides of the containers are parallel
with the 3/4- by 48- by 48-inch plywood on the A-22 cover.
2 Place a layer of one piece of 36- by 48-inch honeycomb and one piece of 12- by 48-inch
honeycomb on the containers. Set three more containers on the honeycomb.
3 Place another layer of honeycomb on the containers. Set the last three containers on the
honeycomb.
4 Run the ends of the 30-foot lashing over the top of the stacked containers, and bind the ends
together with two D-rings and a load binder.

## Positioning The Load

2-32. Place the four A-22 containers on the platform as shown in Figure 2-33.

Make sure the inspection port holes in the missile containers face the front and rear of the platform.

1 Place the four A-22 cargo bags on the honeycomb stacks, centering them from side to side

and from front to rear on the honeycomb.
2 The A-22 cargo bags will overhang 1 inch on the front and 1 inch on the rear of the platform.

## Securing Suspension Webs And Lashing Containers

2-33. Secure the suspension webs as shown in Figure 2-34. Lash the A-22 cargo bags to the platform as shown in Figures 2-35 through 2-37. Install the lashings as outlined in TM 4-48.02/MCRP 4-

## Section Iv-Rigging Four 15-Round Containers Description Of Load

2-42. Four Dragon or Dragon II missiles in 15-round containers are rigged in four A-22 cargo slings on an
8-foot, type V airdrop platform with one G-11 cargo parachute for low-velocity airdrop (LVAD) from a C- 130 or C-17 aircraft. Each container is 49 inches long, 37 inches wide, 67 inches high, and weighs 695 pounds.

## Prepraring Platform

2-43. Prepare an 8-foot airdrop platform as shown in Figure 2-43.

## Step:

1. Inspect, or assemble and inspect, an 8-foot, type V platform as outlined in TM 10-1670-
268-20&P/TO 13C7-52-22.
2. Install a tandem link to the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3. 3. Install a tandem link to the rear of each platform side rail using holes 14, 15, and 16. 4. Install clevises on bushing 3 of each front tandem link. 5. Install clevises on bushing 3 of each rear tandem link.
6. Starting at the front of the right platform side rail, install clevises on the bushings bolted to
holes 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13. Repeat for the left side.
7. Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises 1 through 10 on the right side, and
1A through 10A on the left side.
8. Label the tiedown rings according to TM 4-48.02/MCRP 4-11.3J/NAVSEA SS400-AB-
MMO-010 REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5.

## Building And Placing Honeycomb Stacks

2-44. Prepare and position the honeycomb stacks as shown in Figure 2-44.

Notes.

1. Measurements from the front of the platform are taken from the front edge of the first panel. 2. Measurements from the rear edge of the platform are taken from the rear edge of the last panel.

1 Build the first stack by using the following pieces of honeycomb, and position the honeycomb
flush with the front edge of the platform.

(2nd layer bridge)

2 Build the second stack by using three pieces of honeycomb (18- by 80-inch). Center the stack
over the joint where the second and third panels join together and between the side rails.
3 Build the third stack by repeating step 1 above, and position the honeycomb flush with the rear
edge of the platform.

## Preparing The Load

2-45. Prepare four A-22 cargo slings with four 15-round containers as shown in Figures 2-45 and 2-46.

However, do not use the skid or skid honeycomb. Close the A-22 slings by following steps in TM 4-
48.03/MCRP 4-11.3C/TO 13C7-1-11.

1 Position the A-22 sling assembly by following the procedures outlined in TM 4-48.03/MCRP 4-
11.3C/TO 13C7-1-11.
2 Center a 3/4- by 38- by 48-inch piece of plywood on the scuff pad.

Note. Set the container on the plywood. Close the A-22 cargo sling by following the steps in TM 4-
48.03/MCRP 4-11.3C/TO 13C7-1-11.
1 Tie the D-ring on the support web to the front support web with type III nylon cord. Tie the D-
rings of the side of the support webs together using type III nylon cord.
2 Snap another suspension web to each normally rigged suspension web. This gives a twosuspension web length snapped onto the D-rings. Be sure the open side of the connector straps faces inward. Tape all connector snaps.

## Positioning Load

2-46. Place the four A-22 cargo slings with four 15-round containers on the honeycomb stacks as shown in Figure 2-47.

Make sure the inspection port holes in the missile containers face the front and rear of the platform: the inspection port holes face the rear of the platform in the container groups.

# Rigging 1 14-Ton Truck With An Avenger Weapon System And Section Box On A 28-Foot, Type V Platform For Low- Velocity Airdrop

## Description Of Load

14-1. The Avenger is a turret-configured weapon system mounted on a modified M1097 1 14-ton, HMMWV-series truck.  There are two configurations of the system, the Avenger without the Environmental Control Unit (ECU) mounted on a modified M1097-series truck and the Avenger with an upgraded ECU mounted on a modified M1097-series truck.  The Avenger shown in Figure 14-1 is in the travel position.  The weapons consist of two missile pods, a 50-caliber machine gun, and guidance system. The Avenger may be dropped with or without the Stinger missiles or trainer missile in the launch pods. The turret and section box are removed from the truck and rigged on a 28-foot type V platform with the truck.  This load requires three G-11 parachutes.

## Preparing Platform

14-2. Prepare a 28-foot, type V airdrop platform as shown in Figure 14-2.
Note.  Measurements given in this load are from the front edge of the platform, NOT from the front edge of the nose bumper. The nose bumper may or may not be installed.

## Step:

1.
Inspect, or assemble and inspect, a 28-foot, type V airdrop platform as outlined in TM 10- 1670-268-20&P/TO 13C7-52-22.
2.
Install a suspension bracket to the right and left platform side rails using holes 10, 11, and 12.
3.
Install a tandem link to the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3.
4.
Install a suspension bracket to the right and left platform side rails using holes 45, 46, and 47.
5.
Install a clevis on bushing 1 of each tandem link.
6.
Starting at the front of each platform side rail, install clevises on the bushings bolted to holes 14 (triple clevis), 15, 16, 18, 19, 28, 30 (triple clevis), 31, 34, 35, 36, 38, 49, 50, 51 (double clevis), 51A (triple clevis), 53, 54 (triple clevis), 54A (double clevis), 55, and 56.
7.
Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises 1 through 24 on the right side, and 1A through 24A on the left side.
8.
Label the tie-down rings according to TM 4-48.02/MCRP 4-11.3J/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO-
010 REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5.

## Preparing And Positioning Honeycomb Stacks And Strongback

14-3. Prepare honeycomb stacks 1, 2, and 3 for the truck as shown in TM 4-48.17/MCRP 4-11.3M/TO
13C7-1-111.  Prepare honeycomb stacks 4 and 5 for the turret as shown in Figure 14-3.  Position the honeycomb stacks as shown in Figure 14-4.  Construct the strongback as shown in Figure 14-5.  Position the strongback on the honeycomb stacks as shown in Figure 14-6 and install the drive off aid on the platform.

on the skid and place the other two pieces 2 inches from the 66-inch side of the skid.
5 Set a piece of cardboard between the honeycomb and the steel strapping. 6 Glue three 8- by 44-inch pieces of honeycomb across the first layer of honeycomb.  Center the
first piece of honeycomb, and place the other two pieces flush with the ends of the first layer of honeycomb.
7 Glue three 6- by 62-inch pieces of honeycomb on the second layer of honeycomb the same as
the first layer in step 4.
8 Glue three 8- by 44-inch pieces of honeycomb on the third layer of honeycomb the same as the
second layer in step 6.
9 Glue two 31- by 44-inch pieces of honeycomb side by side on the fourth honeycomb layer.
10 Center an A-22 cargo bag sling assembly on the top layer of honeycomb.

11 Place a 34- by 48- by 66-inch piece of plywood on top of the sling assembly. 12 Bind the plywood, honeycomb, and sling together with the steel strapping.

1 Center the A-22 cargo bag cover on the skid. 2 Center a 15-foot tiedown strap on the cover.

1 Center a Stinger missile on the cover. 2 Place a Stinger weapon system on each side of the missile. 3 Place two layers of cellulose wadding between the weapon systems and the missile.
1 Place two layers of cellulose wadding on top of the first layer of weapon systems and the missile. 2 Place a missile and two weapon systems on top of the first layer of weapon and missiles.  Place
them the same as in steps 3 and 4 of figure 15-7.
3 Place two layers of cellulose wadding between the weapon systems and the missile (not shown). 4 Place a 12- by 66-inch piece of honeycomb on top of the missile. 5 Bind the load together with the 15-foot tiedown strap.
