This TOP describes procedures for evaluating the fording ability of military wheeled and tracked vehicles and the effectiveness of fording kits. The types of fording (shallow water, deep water, and underwater) are considered with respect to safety hazards; performance, including water ingress and egress capability; effects on vehicle operation on land; and endurance. Fording kits are evaluated for time required for installation, ease of application, proper fit, reliability, functional suitability, and safety. When applicable, comparisons are made between the vehicle/kit under test and comparable standard equipment. Amphibious vehicles are not included in this document.
