Dear EditoR
The lanyard that runs from the MK-155 mine clearing line charge
(MICL/C) to the towing vehicle gets frayed when the vehicle makes
too sharp a tu±. Eventually the lanyard breaks. ²hen if you have
MODs
O
or 1, you can't raise the launcher without leaving the vehicle³
We´ve had beµter luck by substituting the 550 cord used with
parachutes.
I
rarely breaks. Your local canvas shop or paratroop
unit probably can let you have some 550 cord, or you can order 34
yards with NSN 4020-00-014¶6699.
FROM THE DESK of thE
oK,
we pulLed thE cord on youR
suggesTiOn and it f±Oated.
