OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
0005 00-1
PACKING
The LME is shipped in separate transport covers and bags, each of which is labeled with its contents and
lifting requirements. Always ensure that sufficient personnel are available for lifting and carrying the
components. Refer to the applicable procedures in this manual or the panel illustration on the inside of
the end fabric panels for assembly and setup procedures. Identify and inventory all components before
beginning to set up the LME.
SITING REQUIREMENTS
During site selection for the LME the following considerations are relevant:
The function to be performed with the LME. For example, when used as a maintenance facility, vehicular
access and proximity to a roadway is important. However, when used as a troop assembly or billeting
facility, concealment and other factors may be more important.
The site must be free of debris. The ground should be level, varying no more than three (3) inches in ten
(10) feet on unprepared soil.
Choose a site that affords some protection from prevailing winds.
The site should also be firm and dry, away from any potential flood areas, as well as clear of trees which
may create problems in high winds.
The LME is 23' 11 5/16" wide at the base and 32 feet long, requiring an area approximately 40x40 ft
(1600 sq ft) to erect the structure, not including the additional space required to emplace the stakes and
guy lines as shown below:
