Sling load operations provide commanders with a capability that allows them to safely and expeditiously transport equipment over long distances while maneuvering through austere environments and terrain. Soldiers conducted several iterations of the training, allowing them the opportunity to practice preparing, certifying, and hooking up the loads of equipment to be transported.
