a. Securing. The M973 must be secured by blocking the tracks with timbers at the front and rear and on both sides.
The bracing timbers are force-fitted to a bulkhead, stanchion, or the blocking of an adjacent vehicle. The M973 must be
lashed with turnbuckles and wire rope from the vehicle tiedown fittings to the bulkheads, stanchions, or deck fittings (such
as pad-eyes or D-rings). Figure 6-2 shows typical blocking and tiedown details. Table 6-1 lists the materials for blocking
and tiedown, and table 6-2 explains how to apply these materials.
