Within the United States National Security Strategy, Weapons of
Mass Destruction (WMD) and their possible use by terrorists are
listed as a vital interest to our nations security. Excluded from
this vital interest are terrorist acts that involve the use of
conventional bombs and weaponry. The United States is focused on a
Nuclear/Biological/Chemical (NBC) terrorist attack; but it should
be equally prepared for the more likely domestic terrorist attack
using conventional bombs.

rigging procedures for dual-point loads which have been certified
for sling load. Chapter 14 contains rigging procedures which have
