Which manual and chapter specify sling set inspections IAW?

• A. TM 4-48.09 Chapter 5
• B. TM 4-48.09 Chapter 7
• C. TM 4-48.10 Chapter 6
• D. TM 4-48.09 Chapter 6

Answer: (D)

Sling set inspections are guided by the Army’s sling-load rigging standards, so you know exactly what to check and when. The required reference is TM 4-48.09, Chapter 6, which lays out the inspection criteria for sling sets, including pre-use, in-use, and periodic inspections, and what constitutes serviceable versus retired gear. “IAW” means you apply those specific criteria from that chapter to determine if a sling set is safe to use. The other options point to either a different manual or a different chapter that doesn’t cover sling set inspections, so they don’t provide the correct guidance.
