• normally three elements involved in sling load operations: the supported unit that requests
• the mission, the aviation unit that provides the aircraft, and the receiving unit that receives the cargo.
• Sometimes, as during a unit relocation, the supported and receiving unit are the same. The responsibilities
• and functions of each element are discussed below.
• Supported Unit. The supported unit is responsible for the following sling load applications:
• Landing site selection and control (including communications). The flight deck is the
• landing site during shipboard operations and will be controlled by ship personnel.
• Rigging the cargo using procedures in the appropriate rigging manual
• Providing qualified inspectors and inspection forms (Appendix I) to inspect the rigged load.
• Distributing completed copies of the Sling Load Inspection Record prior to the time of the
• sling load mission according to Appendix I.
• Connecting the rigged load to the aircraft cargo hook unless that responsibility has been
• assigned to another unit.
• Verifying the total weight of the load (including rigging equipment). The supported unit
• relays the load weight along with any other information that may affect the load's flight stability
• and safety to the pilot.
• Providing instructions, as required, to the aviation unit on the location of the delivery point
• landing site.
• Providing disposition instructions to both the aviation and receiving units for return of
• cargo slings, A-22 cargo bags, cargo nets, containers, and other rigging equipment.
• Securing and protecting sensitive items of supply and equipment.
• Providing communications and terminal guidance during small scale operations.
• Ensuring proper supervision of the sling load operation including load rigging.
• (USA, USAF, USCG) Providing qualified ground crews for:
• Rigging and inspecting all loads, guiding the helicopter, hooking up the loads, and
• clearing the aircraft for departure. Appendix A describes hand-and-arm signals. (This
• paragraph implements STANAG3117.)
• Requisitioning, storing, inspecting, and maintaining all the rigging equipment needed
• for sling load operations. Appendix B includes a national stock number listing for
• sling sets, cargo nets, and miscellaneous equipment.
• Designating a safe rendezvous point away from the helicopter emergency landing
• area.
• (US) Providing a qualified sling load team that is aware of the following information:
• When afloat, the supported unit provides all lifting and rigging equipment.
• Certain cargo slings may not be available to the supported unit. Coordination is
• required with a vertical onboard delivery unit for using 15,000-pound and 40,000-
• pound cargo slings. A chain link conversion chart for the various sling sets is at
• Appendix C.
• (USMC) Providing material used for preparing the cargo such as padding, tape, and rope.
• (USMC) Establishing helicopter support team (HST) as outlined in FMFM 6-21 and
• MCWP4-11.3. The following are specific responsibilities of the HST:
• Establishing liaison with aviation and receiving units.
• Providing slings, nets, and related items for rigging cargo.
• Providing personnel for rigging, hookup, and staging cargo.
• Providing personnel for organizing landing site and related duties.
• Personnel
• augmentation from the supported unit may be required.
• Providing landing site control.
• Ensuring a corpsman and radio operator are available at each landing site or that each
• landing site has access to them for immediate support.
• Providing accurate cargo weight information to pilot.
• Aviation Unit. The aviation unit is responsible for:
• Coordinating with the supported and receiving units and, when required, appointing a
• liaison officer who is familiar with sling load operations.
• Advising the supported unit on the helicopter capabilities and limitations.
• Advising the supported and receiving units on the suitability of the selected landing site.
• Providing comments or recommendations on overall operations relative to safety.
• Note: The pilots make the final decision on whether the cargo will be moved.
• Providing assistance, if possible, for recovery and return of the rigging equipment as
• required by the supported unit.
• Arranging for the aircraft to be at the landing site on schedule.
• (USMC) Providing the HST with personnel and equipment for the helicopter control
• element (HCE) during large scale operations or when the HST nucleus is provided by the
• landing support company.
• Providing pathfinders to the helicopter assault landing zone contact team, when
• required.
• (USCG) Providing cargo slings, nets, and other rigging equipment as required.
• Receiving Unit. The receiving unit is responsible for:
• Selecting, preparing, and controlling the landing site (to include communications)
• Receiving and derigging the load.
• Ensuring proper supervision of the derigging operation.
• Coordinating the return of lifting equipment and support personnel to the supported unit, if
• required.
• Preparing, coordinating, and inspecting backloads, such as slings, cargo nets, and A-22
• cargo bags, and preparing them for hookup or loading.
• Landing Support Specialist performs various duties that support the establishment, maintenance and control of transportation throughput systems on beaches, landing zones, ports (air and sea), and terminals (rail, truck, and container) used in support of MAGTF operations and deployments
• Ensured timely completion of projects through effective task prioritization and delegation.
• Performed damage control assessments post-mission, identifying areas requiring improvement or repair in future missions.
• Evaluated performance metrics to identify areas for improvement and implemented changes for increased efficiency in future operations.
• Resolved complex issues by applying technical expertise to troubleshoot problems related to landing support systems or equipment malfunctions.
• Established clear lines of communication between air traffic controllers, ground personnel, and pilots for efficient execution of tasks.
• Collaborated with external agencies to maintain seamless coordination during joint missions.
• Demonstrated adaptability under pressure, adjusting plans as needed based on situational changes during demanding landings or extractions.
• Facilitated successful training exercises by designing and implementing realistic scenarios for landing support operations.
• Maintained high safety standards by conducting regular inspections and addressing potential hazards.
• Mentored junior team members, fostering their growth as professionals in the field of landing support specialization.
• Increased accuracy in documentation by meticulously recording landing support activities and incidents.
