Rigging Dragon or Dragon II Missile Containers on an 8-
Foot, Type V Platform for Low-Velocity Airdrop
SECTION I-RIGGING 36 ONE-ROUND CONTAINERS
DESCRIPTION OF LOAD
2-1. Thirty-six Dragon II missiles in one-round containers are rigged on an 8-foot, type V platform with
one G-11 cargo parachute for low-velocity airdrop (LVAD) from a C-130 or C-17 aircraft. Each container
is 47 ½ inches long, 16 inches wide, 16 inches high, and weighs 67 pounds.
PREPARING PLATFORM
2-2. Prepare an 8-foot, type V platform using 4 tandem links and 20 clevises as shown in Figure 2-1.

Step:
1. Inspect, or assemble and inspect, an 8-foot, type V platform as outlined in TM 10-
1670-268-20&P/TO 13C7-52-22.
2. Install a tandem link to the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3.
3. Install a tandem link to the rear of each platform side rail using holes 14, 15, and 16.
4. Install clevises on bushing 3 of each front tandem link.
5. Install clevises on bushing 3 of each rear tandem link.
6. Starting at the front of the right platform side rail, install clevises on the bushings bolted
to holes 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13. Repeat for the left side.
7. Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises 1 through 10 on the right side,
and 1A through 10A on the left side.
8. Label the tiedown rings according to FM 4-20.102/MCRP 4-11.3J/NAVSEA SS400-AB-
