When attaching dual point loads to the CH-53E/K, what must each hook have if not using a Cargo Hook Reach Pendant?

When attaching dual point loads to the CH-53E/K without utilizing a Cargo Hook Reach Pendant, it is essential for each hook to have a Static Discharge Man. This is because the Static Discharge Man helps prevent static electricity from building up during flight, which could pose a risk when handling loads or performing operations. Proper grounding through static discharge equipment ensures safe operation of the aircraft and the attached loads, especially in conditions where static charge may become a concern.

The other options do not specifically address the critical need to manage static electricity in dual point loading scenarios. While load distribution devices, hook safety covers, and anchor straps may be relevant to overall cargo handling and safety practices, they do not fulfill the specific requirement of electrostatic discharge management necessary when dual loads are being lifted by the CH-53E/K.
