The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS), Validation Engineering Division (SMCAC-DEV), was tasked by USADACS, Transportation Engineering Division (SMCAC-DET), to evaluate the substitution of 1-1/4-inch metal banding in lieu of 2-inch metal banding in the road transportation of 500-pound MK82 bombs on M127, M871, and M872 semitrailers. The substitution is due to the nonavailability of 2-inch metal banding and the 2-inch metal banding being difficult to work with in the preparation of ammunition loads. Currently, two 2-inch metal bands are used to secure a load unit of two pallets of 500-pound MK82 bombs to a flatbed semitrailer for road transportation. These tests are to investigate the use of three 1-1/4-inch metal bands to secure 500-pound MK82 bombs to the M127, M871, and M872 semitrailers during road transportation. These tests document the load securing ability of three 1- 1/4-inch metal bands versus two 2-inch metal bands.
