TM 55-5811-188-14 CHAPTER 5 HIGHWAY TRANSPORTABILITY GUIDANCE Section I.  GENERAL 5-1. Scope This chapter provides onroad and offroad transportability    guidance    for    the    AN/MSQ-103A/B/C TEAMPACK systems.  It covers significant technical and physical  characteristics  and  safety  precautions.    It  also prescribes   the   materials   and   provides   the   guidance required  to  prepare,  load,  tie  down,  and  unload  these systems. 5-2. Safety In    addition    to    the    safety    precautions    contained    in chapter  3,  movement  of  the  systems  within  CONUS  is subject    to    all    safety    laws,    rules,    and    regulations applicable to commercial carriers. Overseas movements are governed by theater and local regulations. 5-3. Self-Propelled Movement a. The    AN/MSQ-103A/C/M1015    carrier    is    self- deliverable   only   under   appropriate   tactical   situations. Although   the   carrier   tracks   are   equipped   with   rubber pads, movement over paved public highways will not be made without specific approval from the Federal, State, and/or local authorities prior to movement. b. The  AN/MSQ-103A/C  shelters  mounted  on  the M925A1   can   move   over   paved   highways   with   minor restrictions.    Permits  will  be  required  for  transport  in these areas. c. The   AN/MSQ-103B/M1028   CUCV   can   move without   any   restrictions   over   all   road   networks   within CONUS    and    overseas.        No    special    preparation    is required for the vehicle to move under its own power. 5-4. Transport by Semitrailers a. The    -103A/C/M1015    can    be    transported    by military  or  commercial  lowbed  semitrailers  of  adequate capacity.    The  -103A/C/NM1015  loaded  on  semitrailers will cause restrictions throughout the United States and in many foreign countries.  The overall width and height exceed legal limits in all the United States and in most foreign  countries.    It  will  be  necessary  to  remove  the antenna  from  the  shelters  in  order  to  meet  the  United States     permit     limits     and     reduce     foreign     highway restrictions.    In  special  cases,  it  may  be  necessary  to separate  the  shelters  from  the  M1015  carrier  to  allow highway transport of the system.  The overall length of the  truck  tractor  and  semitrailer  will  exceed  the  legal limits    in    many    foreign    countries.        Permits    will    be required  prior  to  highway  movement  in  both  the  United States and foreign countries. b. The   -103B/M1028   CUCV   may   be   transported over  highway  by  both  military  and  commercial  flatbed semitrailers.  Semitrailers not more than 96 inches wide will   provide   for   unrestricted   moves   in   CONUS   and foreign     countries.          Special     preparation     of     the     - 103B/M1028   CUCV   for   transport   by   semitrailer   may consist  of  reducing  the  system  to  its  lowest  shipping configuration.        Normally,    the    overall    height    of    the system, when loaded on the M127A1 semitrailer, will not exceed 13 feet 6 inches. NOTE Dimension    and    weight    limits    for highway    transport    throughout    the United  States  are  published  by  the American Trucking Association (ATA),   Alexandria,   Virginia.      Legal limitations     for     foreign     areas     are identified  in  Limits  of  Motor  Vehicle Sizes and Weights, International Road   Federation,   1-23   Washington Building, Washington, DC 20005.
