The under-ride bar kit is used anytime the Rapidly Emplaced Bridge System
(REBS) is transported on the Common Bridge Transporter (CBT) in convoys. It
works as an extended bumper that reduces the risk of a vehicle, like a Stryker or
HMMWV, hitting the back of the REBS. Such accidents can cause serious injury and
may disrupt vehicle operations.
The REBS under-ride bar assembly is removed and stowed prior to launch and
retrieval of the bridge, connection of the PLS trailer (PLST) to the CBT, or whenever
the pallet is unloaded to the ground.
Units that have earlier REBS will Fnd under-ride bar assemblies added to RESET
REBS they receive.
REBS users can access the under-ride bar training video on the Library of TACOM
Training Information Site (LOTTIS). Go to:
Then click on the VIDEOS tab and do a search for
Under Ride Bar Video.
