## Introduction

Publication of TM 4-48.17/MCRP 4-11.3M/TO 13C7-1-111 (FM 10-500-23/TO 13C7-14-461; FM 4-
20.117(FM 10-517)/MCRP 4-11.3M/TO 13C7-1-111; FM 4-20.166 (FM 10-500-66)/TO 13C7-25-71) Airdrop of Supplies and Equipment: Rigging High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV)
supersedes FM 10-500-23/TO 13C7-14-461 Airdrop of Supplies and Equipment: Rigging Communication Vehicles 31 Aug 1999 and FM 4-20.117(FM 10-517)/MCRP 4-11.3M/TO 13C7-1-111 Airdrop of Supplies and Equipment: Rigging High-Mobility  Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) 1 October 2001 (RAR
Change 1, 22 July 2005) and FM 4-20.166 (FM 10-500-66)/TO 13C7-25-71 Airdrop of Supplies and Equipment: Rigging 2- and 4-Litter Ambulance 30 May 2006. The grouping of the manuals has produced excess multi-service publication numbers. A single multi-service publication number will be retained on the new manual and the following remainder multi-service publication numbers will not be required/used:
(TO 13C7-14-461; TO 13C7-25-71).

This revision to the TM publishing medium/nomenclature has been accomplished to comply with U.S. Army TRADOC doctrine restructuring requirements. The title is slightly changed and the content of the manual(s) is not identical to that of the superseded manual(s). There has been some change to procedural content in the main body. This special revision does not integrate any changes in Army doctrine since 31 Aug 1999/1 October 2001 (RAR Change 1, 22 July 2005)/30 May 2006 and does alter the publication's original references. 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. For the content/availability of specific subject matter, contact the appropriate proponent.

# Rigging Specific Accompany Loads In Hmmwv-Series Trucks For Low-Velocity Airdrop

## Description Of Loads

4-1. This chapter decribes and details how to rig specific items of Army equipment in the cargo bodies of HMMWV-series trucks. All trucks on 16-foot and 20-foot platforms must be rigged with a load in the truck. See the chapter or section for the particular truck for the minimum and maximum allowable load weights. If a specific piece of equipment is lighter than the minimum specified weight, additional items must be rigged to meet the minimum weight requirement.. Consult the chapter or section for the truck shown to find alternative truck models that can be used to rig the load.

## Preparing Accompaning Loads

4-2. There are 17 separate sections in this chapter. Each section provides detailed instuctions on how to prepare various military equipment in the cargo areas of the HMMWV series trucks. Since loads in actual tactical situations vary greatly, and equipment changes frequently, use these procedures as a guideline for rigging similar items. The loads shown in this chapter can be rigged in trucks of similar configuration and load capacity, unless the procedures specify that the load can be rigged in only one model of truck

Only ammunition listed in TM 4-48.16 (FM 4-20.153)/MCRP 4- 11.3B/TO 137-18-41 may be airdropped. Package, mark, and label hazardous material according to AFMAN 24-204/TM 38-250.
