Study Notes

Equipment Preparation: Weighing and Marking

  • Proper marking includes weight and center of balance (COB) on equipment items.
  • Ensure the driver and passengers exit the vehicle before weighing the axle/axles.
  • Pallet scale weight must be marked clearly on both an 88-inch side and a 108-inch side.
  • Married pallets require center of balance markings; this statement is false.
  • Classified information on DD Form 2775 requires installation commander approval; any unapproved information is false.
  • The vertical part of the "T" marking on a vehicle includes the gross weight information.

Equipment Preparation: Safety

  • Vehicles should not remain unattended on the cargo floor until at least one forward and one aft restraint device is installed.
  • Troops and passengers need to be escorted when moving to and from aircraft due to movement in the flightline area.
  • Maximum speed limit within 25 feet of an aircraft is 5 mph.

Equipment Preparation: Departure Airfield Operations

  • Deploying units are accountable for activities in the marshaling area.
  • The Call Forward Area responsibilities include load teams, mobility forces, and DACG.
  • Deploying units must correctly assemble cargo and personnel for mission loads in the Alert Holding Area (AHA), a controlled area under A/DACG.

Equipment Preparation: Cargo and Joint Inspection Preparation

  • Container keys must be accessible during all phases of marshaling, inspection, loading, and transportation.

Vehicle Operations Safety

  • Vehicle drivers must have spotter personnel in place before backing toward or into an aircraft.

Fuel Regulations
