MIL-STD-1366E; INTERFACE STANDARD FOR TRANSPORTABILITY CRITERIA ARMY - MT - Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) General.
In accordance with the Department of Defense (DOD) Engineering for Transportability program described in DOD Instruction 4540.7, Operation of the DOD Engineering for Transportability and Deployability Program, this standard establishes basic transportability interface criteria for use in the development and shipment of items of materiel. The standard covers dimensional and weight limitations for all modes of transport to ensure that new and modified systems meet the interface requirements of the Defense Transportation System (DTS) (highways, tunnels, bridges, railways, etc.) and the DTS lift assests (rotary and fixed wing aircraft, railcars, ships, barges, etc.) for unrestricted worldwide transport and deployment. It also covers lifting and tiedown provisions, containerization criteria, overloads, assembly/disassembly, air delivery, shelter criteria, transportability testing, and modeling and simulation of the transportation environment. This standard will allow materiel development and procurement activities to design military equipment to meet the transportability requirements of various modes.
Applicability.
This DOD interface standard is for use by the DOD acquisition community, to include the private sector, in the acquisition of defense materiel and systems. It should be included, by reference, in appropriate documentation of the DOD acquisition process to ensure acceptable transportability (see 3.45). The Defense Standards Improvement Council (DSIC) approved this standard as an interface standard in May 1995; therefore, reference of this standard in solicitations does not require a waiver.
Measurement untis.
This standard uses the measurement system, either English or metric, of the source material as the primary measurement. The conversion to the other measurements system is provided in parentheses.

MIL-STD-209K; INTERFACE STANDARD FOR LIFTING AND TIEDOWN PROVISIONS ARMY - MT - Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) Coverage. This 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. Intended Use: This standard covers the design and testing of lifting, equipment tiedown, multipurpose, cargo tiedown, large cargo tiedown, and supplemental air transport tiedown provisions.

MIL-DTL-32108

MIL-DTL-32108; SPREADER BARS FOR LIFTING SLINGS ARMY - MT - Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) This specification covers spreader bars and multiple leg sling sets for lifting older military vehicles and large equipment. Military vehicles designed to current standards should not require spreader-bars. Intended Use: The spreader bar/sling assemblies covered by this specification are intended for use in cargo handling for shipboard and other loading operations in lifting vehicles and large pieces of equipment. The Size 40/18 spreader bar (with 6-foot minimum lower slings) is suitable for top lifting 20-foot ISO containers or flatracks. Size 30/9 spreader bars (with sufficient length lower slings and commercial bottom-lifting-adaptors) are suitable for bottom lifting 20- and 40-foot ISO containers or flatracks.
