It contains general information on waiver authority, hostile environment repair tool kits, and roles, followed by AFSOC C-130 procedures for aircraft and system failures. It requires removal of non-essential equipment before combat missions and approval for restricted steps, with an exception for situations where prior coordination is impractical or impossible.
Remove all non-essential equipment from the aircraft prior to a combat mission.
Use these procedures only when aircraft movement is essential and proper maintenance action is impractical.
Use of these restricted procedures or steps must be approved by the Aircraft Commander/Group Commander, Commander, Air Force Special Operations Forces (COMAFSOF)/Commander, Air Force Forces (COMAFFOR) for operationally assigned forces.
If a combat or contingency situation makes prior coordination impractical or impossible, complete the necessary procedure and notify the approval authority at the earliest opportunity.
Subordinate units are not permitted to supplement this manual.
