to get your vehicle out of a
hostile area
fast
when there
wasn’t enough time to use a
normal tow bar system.
Now there’s a
new
system
that works
even better.
The
new
recovery rope
system, NSN 4020-01-5

011,
is stronger and less likely
to break than the old rope.
So
don’t
use the
old
rope
anymore.
Just remember, the recovery
rope system should be used
only
for emergencies,
not
normal conditions!
When not in
use, store
the recovery
rope system
by strapping
it to the
roof of your
Stryker.
Store the
recovery
winch on the
rear of the
vehicle.
Secure new rope recovery system
to top of vehicle with straps
this is a
bad
place to
break down.
don’t
worry,
buddy!
we’ll use the new
recovery rope
system to get you
to safety!
I need to
get out of
here
fast!
