Rigging the ALICE and MOLLE pack, single-point quick release
NSN 1670-01-227-7992 (PN 11-1-3008)
All load carriers, ALICE and MOLLE packs and weapons cases, are attached to the parachutist by the HSPR and rigged to be lowered with the hook-pile tape lowering line. The HSPR is an H-type design. It is made of nylon webbing with friction adapters to secure it around the load, and it has two adjustable D-ring attaching straps.
The lowering line assemblies are used as the standard method of lowering all individual parachutist’s equipment loads when jumping with personnel parachutes. The HPT lowering line is used to lower all equipment attached to the parachutist. There is also a modified HPT lowering line that accommodates the AT4JP when lowered as a tandem load.
All harness assemblies are qualified, manufactured and inspected in strict accordance with current applicable MIL-DTL-6645, MIL-DTL-27893 and MIL-STD-849.
