SECTION I- RIGGING TOW WEAPON SYSTEM AND MISSILES IN AN
A-22 CARGO BAG FOR LOW-VELOCITY AIRDROP
DESCRIPTION OF LOAD
2-1. The TOW weapon system consists of the launcher, launch tube, and power
pack. It can be rigged with eight missiles in an A-22 cargo bag for low-velocity
airdrop. The load requires one G-12E or three G-14 cargo parachutes.
RIGGING A-22 CARGO BAG
2-2. Rig the TOW weapon system and eight missiles in the A-22 cargo bag as
described below.
a. Prepare the skid board as shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-2.
b. Lay out the A-22 cargo bag as shown in Figure 2-3.
c. Pack the TOW weapon system and missiles as shown in Figures 2-4 through
2-7.
ATTACHING CARGO PARACHUTES
2-3. Prepare and install one G-12E cargo parachute or three G-14 cargo parachutes
to the A-22 cargo bag according to FM 10-500-3/TO 13C7-1-11, and as shown in
Figure 2-8.
