CHAPTER 6
RIGGING M966, M1036, AND M1121 TOW CARRIERS FOR
LOW-VELOCITY AIRDROP ON A TYPE V PLATFORM
Description of Load
6-1. The unrigged M966 TOW carrier (Figure 6-1) is described in FM 10-517/TO
13C7-1-111, Chapter 1. The truck is rigged on a 16-foot, type V airdrop platform
for low-velocity airdrop. An accompanying load weighing a minimum of 800
pounds and a maximum of 2,000 pounds must be rigged in the truck. The load
requires two G-11 cargo parachutes. The M1036 is the same truck with the
addition of a winch, and is rigged the same as the M966. The M1121 is a heavier
version of the TOW carrier, but is rigged in the same way as the M966 and M1036.
Preparing Platform
6-2. Prepare a 16-foot, type V airdrop platform according to TM 10-1670-268-20&P/
TO 13C7-52-22. Install four tandem links and 18 load tie-down clevises according
to FM 10-500-2/TO 13C7-1-5, and as shown in FM 10-517/TO 13C7-1-111, Figure
2-2.
NOTES: 1. You will need FM 10-517/TO 13C7-1-111 to rig this load.
2. The nose bumper may or may not be installed.
3. Measurements given in this chapter are from the front edge
of the platform, NOT from the front edge of the nose bumper.
