An MLC 100 raft is
used to transport light artillery to the other side of the river during
a winter field exercise.
The MLC 100 was capable of ferrying up to two heavy tanks. At each bridge
site, two of these heavy rafts were
employed - one
on each side of the river. Since one raft could do four river crossings
per hour, up 16 tanks could be
ferried over at a bridge site every hour. To cross over an entire brigade
in one night, several bridge sites would have
to be utilized.
