Description
HRS1 airlifts equipment and drops it off via a hook and cables onto a field. A tractor pulls the cargo away. Marines use a crane to move cargo onto the bed of a mech mule. A Marine assists in hooking the cabled cargo to a hovering HRS1. An AD aircraft flies overhead. Marines reel in cable. A mech mule is refueled. The cable's durability is tested with weights as well as manually by Marines pulling large amounts of cargo through mud. A tractor also drags cargo.
