1. Secure the lateral straps according to FM 4-20.103/MCRP 4-11.3C/TO 13C7-1-11.
Note. Due to the unequal length of this load and in order to balance the slings evenly, it is necessary
to use two different sizes of clevises.
2. Attach a type V platform clevis and a G-13 clevis to each D-ring of the A-22 suspension point
on the 60-inch side of the load.
3. On the other connector straps attach a medium clevis.
4. On the other ends of the slings in step 2, attach another type V platform clevis and attach
each platform clevis to the medium clevis to keep the slings balanced.

AIRDROP
DESCRIPTION OF LOAD
3-20. The Javelin Missile System (Plastic Containers / LC-RSSC) is a man-portable surface to surface anti-
tank missile made up of a tactical round in a disposable launch tube. The Javelin nine-round missile system
is rigged in an A-22 cargo bag for low-velocity airdrop on a ¾- by 48- by 55 ½ -inch skid board. The load
uses one G-12E cargo parachute with a 68-inch pilot parachute only. Each missile is 20 inches in diameter,
55 ½ inches in length and weighs approximately 96 pounds. The load has an approximate suspended
weight of 1061 pounds. It has a total height of 85 inches, a width of 48 inches and a length of 55 ½ inches.
The load has a total rigged weight of 1189 pounds.
PREPARING SKID BOARD AND TIES
3-21. Construct and prepare a skid board, and ties according to FM 4-20.103/MCRP 4-11.3C/TO 13C7-1-

3-26. Attach the suspension webs to the A-22 cargo bag sling according to FM 4-20.103/MCRP 4-
11.3C/TO 13C7-1-11 and as described below.
Attach a suspension web to each D-ring of the cargo sling. Route the snap fasteners from outside
to inside. Wrap masking tape around the snap fastener.
Note. Prior to securing the suspension webs with masking tape ensure the webs are not twisted.
Tape all suspension webs together near the free end using masking tape.
Tape all suspension webs together 2 inches above the snap fasteners using masking tape.
ATTACHING AND SECURING THE G-12E CARGO PARACHUTE
3-27. Attach and secure the cargo parachute to the load according to FM 4-20.103/MCRP 4-11.3C/TO

Note. Any overhang mus
container; overhang to the left or
right will not fit in the Centerline Vertical Restraint System (CVRS) or logistic rails.
Step:
1. Place a G-12E cargo parachute on the load. When the front and rear have been
designated, the parachute sides should run parallel to the front and rear.
2. Place the four D-rings of the suspension webs on the clevis bolt. Replace the nut.
3. Secure the parachute to the load using one turn single of type I, 1/4-inch cotton webbing.
Note. Ensure that a 68-inch pilot parachute is attached and secured to the G-12E cargo parachute
according to TM 10-1670-281-23&P/TO 13C5-32-2/NAVAIR 13-1-32.

5. The fifth layer is constructed of doubled 3/4-inch plywood. Using two 48- by 96-inch pieces of 3/4-inch
plywood, cut two 48- by 29-inch pieces, two 44- by 49-inch pieces and two 44- by 96-inch pieces. Nail
the plywood together as shown in the above diagrams. Position one 48- by 96-inch piece of plywood
and one 48- by 29-inch piece of plywood end to end forming one layer 125-inches in length. Position
one 44- by 96-inch piece of plywood and one 44- by 29-inch piece of plywood end to end on top of the
first layer even with one of the long sides of the section. There should be a 4 inch lip when the plywood
is in place. Nail the plywood together. Position one 44- by 96-inch piece of plywood and one 44- by 29-
inch piece of plywood end to end and even with the lip. Position one 48- by 96-inch piece of plywood
and one 48- by 29-inch piece of plywood end to end and even on top of the last pieces and nail all the
plywood together.
