Due to the uniqueness of some equipment and items, the procedures in a specific rigging manual may be different from those in this manual. When procedures are different, those in the specific manual will be followed. When an item of equipment is specified to be used for which its minimum or maximum capacity is exceeded, a notice of exception will be printed at the beginning of each paragraph in each rigging manual where the exception is authorized. When an item of airdrop equipment is replaced or a procedure is changed, it will be impossible to change all manuals in the field at one time. Therefore, this manual will be changed, when necessary. Chapters 1 through 10 contain specific limitations and general information about the rigging of airdrop platform loads for low-velocity airdrop from US aircraft and also shows and tells how to prepare, attach, and safety tie some of the components and systems used in the specific rigging manuals of the FM 4-20.100/TO 13C7 series.

Book Description
This manual, “Airdrop of Supplies and Equipment: Rigging Containers (FM 4-20.103),” provides the latest approved doctrine for rigging airdrop containers. It is written for use by a parachute rigger or jumpmaster. Container loads are loads that are rigged for airdrop in airdrop containers such as the A-7A airdrop cargo sling assembly, the A-21 cargo bag assembly, and the A-22 cargo bag assembly. These containers are packed with supplies, disassembled equipment, or small items of ready-to-use equipment prepared for airdrop. Loads may be required to be cushioned with energy dissipating material (honeycomb), felt, or cellulose wadding depending on the load requirements and the method of airdrop. The number and types of parachutes required to stabilize the load and slow its descent depend on the type of container used, the weight of the load, and the type of airdrop. This manual consists of six parts. a. Part one contains general information for container loads and aircraft. b. Part two contains procedures for rigging A-7A container loads. c. Part three contains procedures for rigging A-21 container loads. d. Part four contains procedures for rigging A-22 container loads. e. Part five contains procedures for rigging low-cost aerial delivery systems. f. Part six contains procedures for rigging specialized loads and equipment.
