1 Lift the side panels of the dump and secure them in place with their locking devices.
2 Route a 15-foot lashing through the front tiedown under the dump bed and through its own
D-ring. Repeat for the opposite side. Route the lashing up and over the top of the
accompanying load and over the ROPs. Secure the lashings with two D-rings and a load
binder between the top legs of the ROPs.
3 Route a 15-foot lashing through the middle tiedown under the dump bed and through its
own D-ring. Repeat for the opposite side. Route the lashing up and over the top of the
accompanying load and secure the lashings on top of the load with two D-rings and a load
binder.
4 Form a 30-foot lashing and route the lashing around the accompanying load. Route the
lashing through the top cutouts and around the front of the bulkhead of the dump bed.
Secure the lashing with two D-rings and a load binder on the left side of the vehicle.

Rigging M973A, 1 ½ -Ton Cargo Carrier Small Unit Support
Vehicle (SUSV) on a Type V Platform for Low-Velocity
Airdrop
DESCRIPTION OF LOAD
3-1.
The small unit support vehicle (SUSV), Figure 3-1, is a tracked vehicle with a driver’s
compartment and a cargo-troop carrier compartment attached to the rear. The vehicle is 271 inches long,
74 inches wide, 90 ½ inches high, and weighs 10,000 pounds. The SUSV is rigged on a 28-foot, type V
airdrop platform using four G-11 cargo parachutes for low-velocity airdrop from C-130 and C-17 aircraft.
The vehicle must be rigged with an accompanying load that weighs 2,000 pounds but not more than 2,100
pounds. The accompanying load is 105-millimeter ammunition rigged on the front end of the platform;
however other equipment may be used.
CAUTION
Only ammunition listed in FM 4-20.153/MCRP 4-11.3B/TO 13C7-18-41
may be airdropped.
