TM 55-5811-188-14 CHAPTER 4 AIR TRANSPORTABILITY GUIDANCE Section I.  GENERAL 4-1. Scope This  chapter  provides  air  transportability  guidance  for the   movement   of   the   TEAMPACK   system.      It   also presents tiedown diagrams and tiedown data for loading this   system   into   C-130,   C-141,   and   C-5   Air   Force aircraft. 4-2. Maximum Utilization of Aircraft Additional cargo and/or personnel, within allowable load limits  and  restrictions  as  prescribed  by  pertinent  safety regulations, can be transported with the TEAMPACK in US Air Force aircraft. 4-3. Safety In    addition    to    the    safety    precautions    contained    in chapter 3, the following procedures apply: a. The  activity  offering  the  vehicle  of  systems  for air  transport  will  notify  the  aircraft  commander  or  his representative when ammunition or explosives are to be transported within a system. b. In  accordance  with  TM  38-250/AFR  71-4,  the fuel level may be three-quarters full when loaded on the cargo   floor,   or   no   more   than   one-quarter   full   during routine airlift. c. The vehicles and shelter must be restrained for air transport in accordance with applicable procedures in Air Force Technical Order (TO) IC-XXX 9. WARNING Fire   extinguishers   must   be   readily available    during    all    loading    and unloading operations. WARNING Proper  ventilation  must  be  provided when loading and unloading. Prolonged inhalation of carbon monoxide fumes may be fatal. CAUTION Do   not   allow   vehicles   to   exceed   3 miles   per   hour   (walking   speed)   on the    loading    ramps    or    inside    the aircraft. CAUTION The CUCV cannot be externally lifted by helicopter. NOTE The    CUCV    with    shelter    must    be loaded  aboard  the  C-130  and  C-141 aircraft   forward   end   first.      Do   not attempt  to  load  by  backing  aboard aircraft. 4-4. Responsibility The loadmaster will ensure that the loaded equipment is secured  in  accordance  with  restraint  criteria  outlined  in TO IC-XXX-9. Section II.  TRANSPORT BY US AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT 4-5. Transportability a. AN/MSQ-103A/C   TEAMPACK   System.        The AN/MSQ-103A   and   -103C   TEAMPACK   systems   are transportable in the C-130, C-141, and C-5 aircraft.  The procedures     below     will     be     used     for     loading     the TEAMPACK system on the following aircraft. (2) C130   and   C-141   Aircraft.      The   shelter must  be  removed  from  the  M1015  tracked  carrier  prior to  loading.    When  the  M1015  carrier  is  loaded,  metal parts  of  the  carrier  tracks  must  not  make  contact  with the  aircraft  loading  ramp  or  cargo  compartment  floor. The use of shoring is always required when loading and unloading the carrier.  Two-by-twelve-inch lumber must be  used  to  provide  two  rows  of  shoring  24  inches  wide and spaced to match the carrier tracks.  Loaded height of  carrier  may  be  reduced  slightly  by  use  of  3/4or  1/2- inch   plywood   shoring   instead   of   2x   12-inch   lumber. Shoring must be laid from the ground end of the aircraft ramp   extension   into   the   cargo   compartment   so   that, when the carrier is in the tiedown position, the tracks are on  the  shoring    Shoring  is  provided  by  the  transporting unit or activity.  The antenna must be removed from the shelter     to     meet     the     102and     103-inch     clearance requirement of the C-130 and C-141 aircraft, respectively.      The   shelter   must   be   placed   on   two interlocked 463L Air Force pallets for shipment. (2) C5 Aircraft.  The TEAMPACK system can be   transported   in   the   operational   configuration.      The requirement  for  shoring  is  the  same  as  for  the  C-130 and C-141 aircraft. 4-1
