Is the M1151 HMMWV ACL greater than the A-22 cargo bag's maximum rated capacity?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Not enough information
• D. Both

Answer: (A)

When you compare a vehicle’s load limit to a bag’s capacity, focus on what each number represents. The vehicle’s ACL (allowable cargo load) is the maximum weight the vehicle is certified to carry safely, accounting for crew, fuel, and equipment. The A-22 cargo bag has a fixed maximum rated capacity based on its fabric, seams, and construction, which is a lower limit than what the vehicle can legally haul in total. Since the vehicle’s safe carrying limit exceeds what a single A-22 bag can hold, the M1151 HMMWV’s ACL is greater than the bag’s maximum rated capacity.
