The improved method of taping the rocket bridle cable to the launcher rail is to tape the bridle in two places-just to the front and just to the rear of the cable sheath. Ensure that the rocket locking mechanism locks the rocket in place. Always travel with the ball-lock pins in the LOCK position. To keep the rocket secure, put some packing material from the rocket shipping container under the head of the rocket. Use a ratchet strap to secure the launcher rail with the rocket to the launcher.
Units travel at excessive speeds over rough terrain.
Several line charge misfires at the NTC may have been caused when the charges shifted in the container before they were fired. Leaders must plan for the low speeds and coordinate with their supported maneuver units. Perform PMCS on the launcher. On a trailer configuration, the launcher is connected to the trailer with four U-bolts. Chain and binders are used to secure the line charge container.
