How the Army moves heavy things without hydraulics. Fiber rope, wire rope, and chain; the knots, hitches, splices, and lashings that hold; blocks, tackle, hoists, anchor systems, and the safe-load math that keeps rigging from becoming shrapnel.
 
From pulling engines to raising beams to securing a load for the highway — this is the reference.
