TM 55-1945-205-10-2 0003 00 12 0003 00 LIFELINE AND LIFE RING SUBSYSTEM Location The lifeline subsystem is installed along the sides of the RRDF platform to protect personnel from falling overboard. The stanchions for the lifelines are installed in the turn-tube fittings and ISO corner fittings of the modules. Chain is used to span the gap between section openings. The lifeline arrangement will vary depending on RRDF configuration. The life rings, nylon rope and strobe lights are attached to the lifeline stanchions. Description The components of the lifeline subsystem consist of stanchions (two types), deck fittings (two types) and chain to span the spaces between sections. The components of the life ring subsystem consist of a donut shaped flotation device, nylon rope and strobe light. EMERGENCY ANCHORING SYSTEM (EASY) Location The EASY is housed in a 20 ft ISO container which is placed and secured on the upstream end of the RRDF near the forward edge. The anchor end of the EASY container should be located 24 in. from the upstream deck edge to allow enough room for opening of the anchor-end container doors and to allow the anchor to deploy properly. Description The EASY is provided to anchor the RRDF platform in the event that the sealift vessel departs the operating area due to weather or some other contingency. It is designed to hold the RRDF platform in its anchored position through Sea State 4 conditions. In more severe conditions, the EASY will control the drift of the platform. Major components of the EASY system, in addition to the container, are the mooring, the stowage and deployment frame that is secured within the ISO container, the mooring box, two manual hydraulic pumps for actuating the moving parts of the stowage/deployment frame and flexor receiver adaptors that are used to secure the mooring bridle to flexor receivers on end rake modules.
