2 Conditions: As a member of a 3 or 4-Soldier team, given a Combat Service Support (CSS) Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) portable satellite system, ~80 pounds of uniform / personal protective equipment, and Technical Manual (TM) Some iterations of this task should be performed in MOPP 4. Standards: As a member of a 4-Soldier team, lift / lower 4 vertical feet and transport 50 horizontal feet the Antenna Pedestal case, Reflector case, and Radio Frequency (RF) Equipment case without personal injury or damage to equipment. As a member of a 3-Soldier team, lift / lower 4 vertical feet and transport 50 horizontal feet the Indoor Equipment Case without personal injury or damage to equipment. There is no time standard for this task. Special Conditions: This activity is conducted in association with setting up a VSAT which is a portable satellite used to provide connectivity to enabling / information systems via the internet. The VSAT is used in all phases of an operation in a deployed and garrison environment, in training and contingency operations. Weight of each of the four transport cases are: (1) Indoor Equipment case (modem tray, laptop, and antenna control unit with reusable fan filters) weight = 81 pounds; (2) Reflector Case (1.2m antenna reflector antenna feed boom, and antenna feed support struts) = 136 pounds; (3) Antenna Pedestal Case (antenna pedestal, hand crank, two outriggers) = 160 pounds; (4) Radio Frequency (RF) equipment case (low noise block down converter, compass/inclinometer, ground fault interrupter, AC power cord, antenna feed horn w/4w Block up converter and LBNs, cable reel, binder with software CDs and satellite reference card, and operational reference guide) weight = 117 pounds. Safety Risk: Low MOPP 4: Sometimes Task Statements Cue: You are required to transport VSAT cases to the operational location or assembly area. ne DANGER WARNING Injury may occur if proper lifting / lowering / transporting techniques are not followed. Do not attempt to lift by bending forward. Bend your hips and knees to squat down to your load, keep it close to your body, and straighten your legs to lift. Never lift a heavy object above shoulder level. Avoid turning or twisting your body while lifting or holding a heavy object. CAUTION The CSS VSAT System has an approximate weight of 494 pounds. Use safe lift and carry procedures when handling the cases. Each case requires a 3 or 4-Soldier lift and carry based on the weight of the equipment. Keep cases closed and latched when not accessing equipment to minimize the probability of injury or snagging clothing. Page 2

3 Remarks: If VSAT or personal protective equipment are not available, this task may be simulated with ~80 pounds of weights attached to the Soldier to simulate 80 pounds of uniform/personal protective equipment and then have Soldier lift/lower 80 pounds of weights 4 vertical feet and carry up to 50 horizontal feet. In a garrison environment, this task may be performed in a gym or other indoor/outdoor facility that allows the Soldier to safely lift/lower and transport simulated equipment. tes: Inventory and inspect all cases.

5 te: There is no time limit to transport equipment cases. te: Equipment does NOT have to be held up or carried continuously at a 4 feet vertical distance. To receive a GO the 3 or 4-Soldier team must lift / lower the equipment 4 feet vertically a minimum of one time. te: Equipment does NOT have to be carried or pulled 50 feet horizontally without stopping. The 3 or 4-Soldier team may stop and lower the equipment to the ground or stop pulling as many times as necessary. When ready, the 3 or 4-Soldier team may continue carrying or pulling the equipment the remaining distance. a. Lift / lower Antenna Pedestal Case (160 pounds) 4 feet when loading / unloading and carry 50 feet, when transporting, as part of a 4-Soldier team. te: Prorated 40 pounds per Soldier. b. Lift / lower Reflector Case (136 pounds) 4 feet when loading / unloading and carry 50 feet, when transporting, as part of a 4-Soldier team. te: Prorated 34 pounds per Soldier. c. Lift / lower RF Equipment Case (117 pounds) 4 feet when loading / unloading and carry 50 feet, when transporting, as part of a 4-Soldier team. te: Prorated pounds per Soldier. d. Lift / lower Indoor Equipment Case (81 pounds) 4 feet when loading / unloading and carry 50 feet, when transporting, as part of a 3-Soldier team. te: Prorated 27 pounds per Soldier. (Asterisks indicates a leader performance step.) Evaluation Guidance: IMPORTANT NOTE: When evaluating this individual task in an institutional training environment, use the Antenna Pedestal case ONLY in order to facilitate evaluating a large number of Soldiers within a limited period of time. A 4-Soldier team is required to transport the case. In an operational environment, 3 or 4-Soldier teams are required to transport all four VSAT cases and execute the individual task to standard as they would under actual field conditions. Score the Soldier GO if all applicable performance measures are passed (P). Score the Soldier NO GO if any performance measure is failed (F). If the Soldier fails any performance measure, show what was done wrong and how to do it correctly. Evaluation Preparation: Setup: 1. Provide the Soldier with the equipment described in the conditions statement and ensure the Soldier is wearing the proper personnel protective equipment. 2. Establish the 50 horizontal feet start/stop point for carrying the equipment and ensure it is clearly marked. Brief Soldier: 1. Tell the Soldier what is expected by reviewing the task standards. Stress to the Soldier the importance of observing all cautions, warnings, and dangers to avoid injury to personnel and damage to equipment. 2. Tell the Soldier there is no time standard for this task. 3. Tell the Soldier where the start/stop point is for this task. 4. Tell the Soldier the equipment does NOT have to be held up or carried continuously at a 4 feet vertical distance. To receive a GO the 3 or 4-Soldier team must lift/lower the equipment 4 feet vertically a minimum of one time. 5. Tell the Soldier the equipment does NOT have to be carried or pulled 50 feet horizontally without stopping. The 3 or 4-Soldier team may stop and lower the equipment to the ground or stop pulling as many times as necessary. When ready, the 3 or 4-Soldier team may continue carrying or pulling the equipment the remaining distance. PERFORMANCE MEASURES GO NO-GO N/A 1. Secured VSAT Equipment Cases. 2.
