Which unit receives a copy of the DA 7382 during the sling load process?

In the sling load process, the DA 7382, which is the Sling Load Inspection Record, is an essential document that verifies that the load has been inspected and is safe for transportation. This document provides critical information regarding the load, including details about the rigging, the weight of the load, and any special considerations for the transport.

Both the Supported and Receiving Units receive a copy of the DA 7382 to ensure that all parties involved are fully informed about the load's condition and any pertinent details related to its transport. The Supported Unit, which is responsible for preparing the load, needs to provide this information to the Receiving Unit to confirm that they are equipped to handle the load safely once it arrives. By sharing this information, potential issues can be addressed beforehand, ensuring a safe and efficient sling load operation.

This comprehensive communication and documentation practice fosters coordination between units, thereby enhancing overall operational safety and effectiveness during the sling load process.
