  TYPES OF MOVEMENT
  6-6. The type of movement administrative or tactical must be considered when determining how to load
  the aircraft. Airborne forces can conduct an administrative movement to an intermediate staging base or
  remote marshalling base, and then transload into assault aircraft by using tactical loading. They are as
  follows:
  (cid:122) Administrative movements are non-tactical. Personnel and equipment are arranged to expedite
  their movement and to conserve time and energy. Economical use is made of aircraft cabin
  space,andplannersmakemaximumuseoftheallowablecabinload(ACL).

  AIRCRAFT REQUIREMENTS
  6-7. When the airborne force deploys, planning guidance from higher headquarters indicates the type of
  aircraft available for the movement. Based on this information, the unit commander determines and
  requests the number of lifts by the type of aircraft required to complete the move. The air movement
  planner must ensure that each aircraft is used to its maximum capability. This is based on the information
  developed onunitrequirements, ACLs, and available passenger seats.The methodsof determiningaircraft
  requirementsaretheweightmethodandthetype-loadmethod.Theyareasfollows:
  (cid:122) Weight method. This method is based on the assumption that total weight, not volume, is the
  determining factor. Since aircraft sometimes run out of space before exceeding the ACL, this
  method is no longer widely used. It has been replaced by the type-load method. The long
  distances involved in reaching an objective area, the necessity of the aircraft to circle for
  extendedperiods beforelanding, andthelargeamounts offuelneeded tosustainthe aircraftcan
  result in the aircraft having to reduce its ACL. As a rule, the longer the deployment, the lower
  theACL.
