## July 2013

Publication of TM 4-48.07, 5 July 2013 supersedes FM 10-579, Rigging the Rapid Runway Repair Kit,
20 March 1998 and Rigging Military Bridges 13 July 1992.  This special conversion to the TM publishing medium/nomenclature has been accomplished to comply with TRADOC doctrine restructuring requirements.  The title and content of TM 4-48.07 is identical to that of the superseded FM 10-579 and FM 10-541. This special conversion does not integrate any changes in Army doctrine since 20 March 1998 and 13 July 1992 and does not alter the publication's original references; therefore, some sources cited in this TM may no longer be current.  For the status of official Department of the Army (DA) publications, consult DA Pam 25-30, *Consolidated Index of Army Publications and Blank Forms,* at http://armypubs.army.mil/2530.html.  DA Pam 25-30 is updated as new and revised publications, as well as changes to publications are published.
