TM 5-1080-250-12&P 2-1CHAPTER 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSSection I. OPERATION UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS2-1. GENERAL. When deploying the ULCANS over vehicles, weapons, and semi-permanent positions, care must be exercised to prevent the garnished (top) side of the screen from tearing on sharp corners, extruding pointed objects, or accessories such as mirrors, bumpers, antennas, mounted armament, poles, stakes, beams, etc. If multiple screens are required, screens will be assembled prior to deployment. When deploying ULCANS, a screen location should be identified at the outside edge for an entry/egress doorway for personnel, equipment, or vehicles as required. Inventory ULCANS contents and assemble multiple screen systems as required before placing over the item to be camouflaged. Section II. ULCANS DEPLOYMENT/RETRIEVAL INSTRUCTIONS2-2. DEPLOYMENT INSTRUCTIONS. The following instructions shall apply when deploying ULCANS. The radar scattering ULCANS must not be placed over active radar equipment because it will seriously interfere with the operation of radar equipment underneath it. To prevent personal injury, a minimum of a "two-person lift" is required for both the ULCANS screen system and the support system storage/transport containers. Components may increase in weight due to trapped or absorbed water. Use additional personnel as needed To prevent personal injury, secure dog tags, remove jewelry, individual equipment, and clothing items that can become snagged during deployment or striking of ULCANS screens. Failure to observe this warning can result in severe injury, loss of limb or death from falling. Climbing on and around the equipment to deploy ULCANS can pose a fall hazard. Extreme caution should be observed to avoid slippery or uneven surfaces and other trip hazards. Use handhold when provided and ladders when available. Particles of dirt and debris carried by netting/garnish can be scraped off and fall into the operator’s eyes when looking upward during setup and takedown of ULCANS. Eye protection is required during setup and takedown operations of ULCANS. WARNING
