Various Army publications based upon AAR rules guide the shipper.
Field Manuals 5515 and 10110 contain planning data: loading tables,
specifications of rail cars, etc. Technical manuals pertaining to
individual equipment and others devoted only to transportability guidance
show how equipment is to be loaded. One technical bulletin, TB 55461,
gives valuable transportability information on specific items. And loading
drawings approved by the AAR are published for such special items as
missiles.
Now that you have been introduced to the more important loading rules,
chapter 2 gives you the principles and procedures used to carry out these
rules.
