MIL-STD-209 Lifting And Tiedown ProvisionsThis standard establishes dimensional limits, design considerations, positioning requirements, and strength requirements for lifting to include helicopter sling load HSL and tiedown provisions for lifting or tying down tanks and other tracked vehicles, tactical wheeled vehicles, helicopters, and other military equipment shipped assembled or disassembled in unboxed or uncrated condition, and for restraining cargo or accessories to such equipment. The lifting and tiedown requirements in this standard are necessary to permit compatibility between military equipment and the transportation systems used for deployments.

MIL-STD-209K

1.3  Equipment types.

Equipment is classified as follows:

Type I.   All equipment issued to Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE) units (for example, combat, tactical and tactical support vehicles, armored carriers, self- propelled artillery, tanks, recovery vehicles, semi-trailers, trailers, trucks, construction equipment, and helicopters).

Type II.  Equipment can be classified as Type II equipment only if the specification explicitly states that the equipment qualifies as Type II equipment for the purpose of meeting this standard.  If a statement to this effect is not contained in the specification, then the equipment is Type I equipment.  In general, Type II equipment will be equipment that is not TOE equipment (for example, unmodified materials handling equipment and commercial construction equipment, and items that are shipped unboxed or uncrated and lifted separately as individual units).
