located in Appendix C.

b. Equipment Name. 10,000 and 25,000 lb. External Transport Sling Assemblies hereinafter known as
sling assemblies 5,000 and 10,000 lb. External Transport Cargo nets hereinafter known as cargo nets.

c. Purpose of Equipment. The purpose of the sling assemblies and the cargo nets is to externally
transport cargo, ranging in weight from 5,000 to 25,000 lb. .

1-2. Maintenance Forms and Records. Department of the Army forms and procedures used for equipment
maintenance will be those prescribed by DA PAM 738-750, The Army Maintenance Management System
(TAMMS) and DA PAM 738-751, The Army Maintenance Management System-Aviation.

1-3. Destruction of Army Materiel to Prevent Enemy Use. Destruction methods are described in the
following subparagraphs.

a. General.

(1) Objective. Methods of destruction used to inflict damage on external transport equipment
make it impossible to restore equipment to a usable condition in a combat zone by either repair or
cannibalization.
1-1
 TM 10-1670-295-23&P

(2) Authority. Destruction of external transport equipment that is in imminent danger of capture by
an enemy is a command decision that must be made by a battalion or higher commander or the equivalent

(3) Implementation plan. All units which possess external transport equipment should have a plan
for the implementation of destruction procedures

(4) Training. All personnel who use external transport equipment should receive thorough training
on external transport equipment destruction procedures and methods. The destruction methods demonstrated
during training should be simulated. Upon completion of training, all applicable personnel should be thoroughly
familiar with external transport equipment destruction methods and be capable of performing destruction
without immediate reference to any publication.

(5) Specific methods. Specific methods of destroying Army material to prevent enemy use shall
be by mechanical means, fire or by use of natural surroundings

b. Destruction by Mechanical Means. External transport equipment metal assemblies and parts
shall be destroyed using hammers, bolt cutters, files, hacksaws, drills, screwdrivers, crowbars, or other similar
devices to smash, break, bend or cut.

WARNING

Exercise extreme care when using petroleum products to destroy equipment by

fire, as severe bums or death could result.

c. Destruction By Fire. Items that can be destroyed by fire shall be burned. The destruction of
equipment by use of fire is an effective method of destroying low-melting-point metal items (e.g., sling legs and
threaded portions of nuts and bolts. However, mechanical destruction should be completed first, whenever
possible, before initiating destruction by fire. When items to be destroyed are made of metal, textile materials
(or some comparable low combustible material) should be packed under and around the items, then soaked
with a flammable petroleum product and ignited. Proper concentration of equipment which is suitable for
burning will”provide a hotter and more destructive fire.

d. Destruction By Use of Natural Surroundings. Small vital parts of assemblies which are easily
accessible may be disposed of as follows. Disposal or denial of equipment to an enemy may be accomplished
through use of natural surroundings. Accessible vital parts of assemblies may be removed and scattered
through dense foliage, buried in dirt or sand, or thrown into a lake, stream, or other body of water. Total
submersion of equipment in a body of water will provide water damage as well as concealment. Saltwater will
Inflict extensive damage to external transport equipment.

1-4. Preparation for Storage or Shipment. For storage, refer to Chapter 2, Section VII of this manual.

1-5. Reporting of Equipment Improvement Recommendations (EIR). If your sling assemblies or cargo
nets need improvement, let us know Send us an EIR You, the user, are the only one who can tell us what you
don't like about your equipment Let us know why you don't like the design or performance. Put in on as SF368

2-4. Initial Receipt. The following describes the procedures for processing external transport equipment upon
initial receipt

a. General Procedures. When the external transport equipment is initially procured from a supply source
and issued to a using unit, the item(s) will be unpacked from the shipping container(s) and inspected. The
inspection performed will be for completeness which will be conducted as outlined in paragraph 2-8. Upon
completion of the inspection, the item(s) will be tagged as prescribed in DA PAM 738-751. Serviceable
equipment may then be entered either into storage or into use in operations, as applicable. An unserviceable
item will be held and reported in accordance with DA PAM 738-751.

b. Configuration/Condition. Acceptance of new equipment from the manufacturer is based upon

inspections made of sample lots which have been randomly selected in accordance with military standards. It
is Incumbent upon the using activity personnel to bear this in mind whenever equipment is first placed in
service. Changes will sometimes evolve from the original equipment design and sometimes contracts are
authorized to make deviations in material and construction techniques. External transport equipment that has
been in the field cannot be expected to meet exacting manufacturing specifications; however, the equipment
should closely reflect desired design characteristics. Since repairs, modifications, and/or changes can alter or
detract from the configuration originally desired, such equipment shall be air worthy, safe, of the desired
configuration, and adequate for intended use.

2-5. Checking Unpacked Equipment After Shipment.

a. Inspect equipment for damage incurred during shipment. If the equipment has been damaged, report
the damage on SF Form 364, Packing Improvement Report

b. Check the equipment against the packing slip to see if the shipment is complete. Report all
discrepancies in accordance with the instructions in DA PAM 738-750.

2-8. Inspection.

NOTE
Neither initial nor periodic proof load testing of the 10,000 and 25,000 lb. capacity
sling is required to be performed by using units.

a. Sling Assembly. Before using a sling set, inspect all metalware for proper operation, rust, corrosion, cracks,
bends, distortions, burrs, sharp edges, grease, oil, acid, or foreign matter. Check for any missing components
If bends, cracks, or distortions are present, the sling cannot be used. If any of the maximum criteria is
exceeded, the rope must be replaced. Do not be alarmed if fuzziness appears on the rope. This is one of the
characteristics of nylon and does not affect the strength of the rope.

Outer jacket yarns in the 10,000-pound capacity rope are identified by a braided strand about three-thirty
seconds of an inch in diameter. in the 25,000-pound capacity rope, yams are identified by a braided strand
about one-eighth inch in diameter. Refer to the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) when replacing
components.

b. Cargo Nets. First spread out the net flat on the ground Make sure the lifting legs are pulled free of the
body of the net Inspect each hook for burrs, cracks, and distortions. Begin the inspection with the hook next to
the apex fitting. Then check the other three hooks, ending with the hook that has the apex fitting attached to It.
Use a metal file to smooth out any burrs. Burrs could snag or cut into the net. Corrective action now will
prevent having to replace or repair major portions of the net later. Nets with badly damaged or missing metal
hooks must be returned to the direct support unit for replacement.

This task covers: Searing

Tools.

Electric Pot, Melting, Item 7, Appendix B

Knife, Metal, Hot, Item 4, Appendix B

NOTE

Fabric materials such as cord, tape, and webbing that are cut for use in the
maintenance of parachutes will normally be heat-seared, to prevent the material
from fraying or unraveling. However, in some instances the preparation of the
material may not be necessary and will be specified accordingly.

Searing. The cut ends of nylon tape, webbing, and cord lengths may be prepared by heat-searing which
is performed by pressing the raw end of the material against a hot metal surface (knife) until the nylon has
melted sufficiently. Avoid forming a sharp edge or lumped effect on the melted end.

available. Repeated or prolonged Inhalation of the solvent vapors can be
detrimental to human health. In addition, avoid prolonged or repeated contact of
the solvent fluid with areas of the skin. Tetrachloroethylene must not be taken
internally.

CAUTION

If during the cleaning there exists a possibility that the substance to be removed
contains acid or some other equally destructive ingredient, the item will be
evacuated to intermediate maintenance activity for determination as to the nature
of the substance and item disposition. If the substance cannot be identified or if
normal repair procedures will not eliminate all traces of chemical or acid damage,
the applicable item will be condemned.

NOTE

Cleaning of external transport equipment should be held to a minimum and should

be performed only when necessary to prevent malfunction or deterioration. When
external transport equipment contains debris, or when it is soiled by dirt, oil,
grease, rust, corrosion, or other foreign substances to such an extent that cleaning
is necessary, the cleaning should be performed manually and should be limited to
the soiled area only, unless the equipment has been contaminated by water. The
methods of cleaning must be determined by the nature of the substance to be
removed

2-8
 TM 10-1670-295-23&P
