What is army military load classification?

Army Military Load Classification (MLC) is a method of categorizing the load-carrying capacity of military vehicles and equipment. The classification system is based on the weight and size of the load and the vehicle's ability to carry and transport it.

There are two main types of MLC classification: MLC (C) and MLC (T). MLC (C) refers to the load-carrying capacity of the vehicle while it is in motion, while MLC (T) refers to its capacity to transport equipment without moving.

MLC (C) has seven classes, ranging from the lightest load (Class 1) to the heaviest (Class 7). Each class is determined by the weight of the equipment and the corresponding weight-carrying capacity of the vehicle.

MLC (T) also has seven classes, but they are determined by the size and shape of the load as well as the vehicle's capacity to transport it. Class 1 is the smallest and Class 7 is the largest, with each class designated by a specific shape and size of equipment.

The MLC classification system is important for ensuring that military vehicles and equipment are used efficiently and safely. It helps to prevent overloading and damage to vehicles and equipment, and ensures that they are operated within their design limits.
