What is the mission of the HMH? (Verbatim)
The mission of the HMH is to support the MAGTF commander by providing assault support transport of heavy equipment, combat troops, and supplies, day or night under all weather conditions during expeditionary, joint, or combined operations.

Principles of TAC Turn:
(.3 2-8)
- The aircraft on the outside of the turn will always turn first.
- Wing will always change sides in formation.
EMCON LEVELS:
(.5 8-1)
- Level One. Electromagnetic Warfare Support (ES) threat is negligible. Essential radio transmissions are made and aircraft emitters may be used. Code words, RAMROD, and other techniques will be utilized to prevent Beadwindow events.
- Level Two. A significant ES threat exists; takeoffs and landings use MINCOM procedures. Voice communications require encryption (secure) and/or Anti-jam communications. Operate radios at a bare minimum and use brevity codes to reduce transmission time. All other emitters may be used.
- Level Three. A serious ES threat exists; data links which offer Low Probability of Intercept / Low Probability of Detection (LPI / LPD) are utilized to mitigate vulnerability of UHF / VHF comms. UHF/ VHF radios, TACAN DME, and unencrypted IFF (i.e. Mode 3) are prohibited.
- Level Four. The most restrictive condition and is used when a serious ES threat exists. Electronic emissions are prohibited, including radios, TACAN DME, and IFF / SIF (except required Mode 5 in theater). Radar altimeters are permitted based on risk analysis of adversary ES capability. Takeoffs and landings use NO COMM procedures. Communications with controlling agencies shall be made by ground observers or Air Boss via landline to report departure times and numbers.
Roles for Escorts
(.3 7.4)
a. Protection from RW threat
b. Protection from FW threat
c. Protection from EN ground fire
d. Route reconnaissance
e. Clear the LZ by fire
f. Support of downed aircraft
CASEVAC Classifications
(.5 14-1)
- Urgent: short-notice evacuation (max of 1 hr)a. Urgent Surgical
- Priority: evacuation within a maximum of four hours to prevent the medical condition from deteriorating to an URGENT
- Routine: They should be evacuated within 24 hours.
- Convenience:
Can a HAC downgrade a CASEVAC?
(.3 6.6.2.6.1
The aircraft commander may upgrade a casualty’s precedence if the commander believes the condition of the patient has deteriorated to such a degree that a higher precedence is warranted. However, at no time will the aircraft commander downgrade a CASEVAC precedence.
What is the max range, max effective range, rate of fire, rounds per can, and tracer burnout of the GAU-21?
a. Max range: 6,500m
b. Max effective: 1,850m
c. Rate of Fire: 950-1100 rds/per
d. Rounds per Can: 300
e. Tracer burnout: 365-1,463m (3-22.4 pg 1-12) OR 1,100m (3-22.3, pg13-8)
10) What laser system do we have for the weapons?
IZLID-200P 425P A25
When does the APR missile alert lamp come on?
(.4 5-5)
DSCRM ON: flashes when low band signals associated with missile guidance system correlated with high band signals associated with radar tracking systems.
DSCRM OFF: flashes when processed low band signals are intercepted.
What conditions must be met for the Missile Alert Lamp to Illuminate with the DSCRM On:
> SL, PRF, PT; <PW
- The signal level must be greater than the minimum threshold level.
- PRF must be greater than the minimum pulses per second.
- The pulse train must exist with not less than minimum pulse train persistence.
- Pulse width must be less than the maximum pulse width.

Design Weight of the Rollers
(Cargo Manual 2.15) The conveyors are designed to support a 2,200-pound load on a 48-inch-long pallet.
Aircraft Tiedown fittings:
(Cargo Manual 2-3)
4.4 (snatch blocks), 5k. 9.7k, 10k, 20k,
The cargo floor is equipped with 5,000-pound, 9,700-pound, 10,000-pound and 20,000-pound tiedown fittings.
NATOPS does not include 9.7k but is in diagram 2-22.3
Restraints Required for internal Cargo:
(Cargo Manual A1-H53BE-CLG-000)
Forward: 4 Gs.
Aft: 3 Gs.
Side: 3 Gs.
Vertical: 3 Gs Up.
This means the force exerted by an object or cargo to be restrained is the normal weight times the Gs of the restraint criteria. For example, an object weighing 1,000 pounds must have a forward restraint criteria of 4,000 pounds (1,000 pounds X 4 Gs = 4,000 pounds)
