    I have a different Reffrance for the following question. Mine was ATP 3-04.1 Para 6-37 or 6-43.

    You overhear two PCs arguing in a planning cell about the expected weight of combat equipped troops. One PC is adamant that the doctrine states to plan for 240 pounds per combat equipped troop. The other PC is arguing that the doctrine states 330 pounds. Who is correct?

    ATP 3-04.1: Par 9.34: When operating the aircraft helicopter at maximum gross weights, use the exact weight of each occupant plus equipment. If weighing facilities are not available or if the tactical situation dictates otherwise,
    estimate loads as follows:
    -Combat-equipped troops: 330 pounds per individual.
    -Combat-equipped paratroopers: 350 pounds per individual.
