HANDLING OPERATIONS |
importance of these requirements cannot be
over-emphasized because of the limited working space
and the large number of personnel contained within the
ship. All personnel (both military and civilian)
involved in ammunition handling must be thoroughly
trained (qualified and certified) in their areas of
responsibility.
The following discussion will cover certain
aspects of handling equipment and the elements of
ammunition handling operations.
HANDLING EQUIPMENT
As a team member, you will use a variety of
ammunition handling equipment. Examples of
handling equipment include hoists and trolleys (figure
5-1), missile transfer dollies (figure 5-2), and hand lift
trucks (figures 5-3 and 5-4) to name but a few. Each
weapon has its own type of handling equipment.
Therefore, you should consult the applicable OPs and
to ensure that you have all the equipment needed to
properly handle and stow the weapon(s).
