 TM 55-1905-242-14
OPERATOR, UNIT, DIRECT SUPPORT, AND GENERAL SUPPORT MAINTENANCE
FOR LANDING CRAFT, MECHANIZED (LCM-8) (ALL VESSELS WITH MOD 2 APPLICATION)
OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
This work package contains siting requirements; shelter requirements; assembly and preparation for use information; and
initial adjustments, before use, and self-test information.
SITING REQUIREMENTS
Location
The primary mission of the LCM-8 Mod 2 is personnel transfer, light salvage, and Command and Control (C2). It will be used
in coastal, harbor, and inland waterways, and is able to work in shallow inlets, rivers, and on unimproved beaches. The LCM-
8 Mod 2, therefore, may be located along any waterway sufficiently deep to support the vessel. The facilities on board the
LCM-8 Mod 2 are sufficient to support its crew of three for only short durations.
Proximity to Power Sources
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is completely self-sufficient with regard to electrical power. A diesel generator, two engine-driven
alternators, and a battery charger supply all of the electrical needs of the vessel. The vessel's electrical needs may also be
supplied by a shore power connection to a shore facility or to another vessel. The shore supply source must be 220 Vac
(Volts alternating current), single phase. The LCM-8 Mod 2 is outfitted with a shore power cable to make this connection.
SHELTER REQUIREMENTS
The LCM-8 Mod 2 requires no shelter. When not in use, the LCM-8 Mod 2 is moored alongside a pier, alongside another
vessel, or is anchored.
ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE
No assembly is required for the LCM-8 Mod 2. Preparations for use are contained in WP 0022 00.
INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS, BEFORE USE, AND SELF-TEST
All necessary initial adjustments, before use, and self-tests are contained in WP 0022 00.
