  AIR ITEMS REQUIRED FOR COMMON STANDARD LOADS
  5-53. Pathfinders require several types of expendable rigging supplies to complete the rigging of the
  loads discussed in this paragraph. These supplies include 1/4-inch cotton webbing (80-pound test),
  3/8-inch diameter rope (3,180-pound test), 7/16-inch diameter nylon rope (4,500-pound test), type III
  nylon cord (550-pound test), pressure-sensitive tape, cellulose wadding or paperboard energy-dissipating
  material, and canvas or felt padding. Pathfinders should obtain sufficient supplies of these items before
  rigging the loads. To rig loads with ADSs and with more than one suspension point, twist an ADS once for
  each 3 feet of sling length. This reduces vibration in the sling during flight. The nylon and chain multileg
  sling sets and the 10,000- and 25,000-pound capacity sling sets do not require the twists. FM 10-450-3
  discusses preparation and rigging for the following loads in detail.
