With the right prep, one guy can consistently do it in under 5. Tape the pole segments together, 2 poles per section. Keep the whips together too. Yeah, they're longer, but they're a waste of time to assemble. Keep the feedcone on the insulating bar. Use the base plate to establish 90 degrees. Use the assembled mast to space out the stakes at 90 degree intervals. Set it up like that once, and fix the guy lines to the proper length. Wrap the lines around the stakes during disassembly too. Once it's all rigged, you just need one dude, and even a scrawny guy can do it in under 5 minutes.
The smattering of Harris radio systems we have were meant to be a full system replacement for all radios in inventory. That fell through in the early 2000s in one of the more extravagantly expensive acquisitions failures in recent DOD history.
@@KhunShawn I was an acting commo chief for 5 years, and I often didn't have any help. Put it up a couple of times by the book, then sat down and puzzled it out. Then they sent me to commo chief school and I showed the old-timers how to do it.
It’s 8 minuets now for 2 people
My units standard is 4 minutes for 2 people 🤧 my 2nd time setting it up with my buddy we got 5:05

Thanks for the tips. i’ll try them out.
Most army ending I've ever seen
The fact that we do this for FiST certs infuriates me
It amazes me that SINCGARS radios still exist.
We still had the VRC-12 series from 1963 in when I fielded SINCGARS in 1992.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. They are easy to deploy and fairly easy to secure. Because no body runs it.

My job as 25U.
Huh. All I needed was a water jug and I had it up by myself in under 10 minutes.
Ive only seen 1 guy throw one of these bad boys up solo in 9 mins 45 seconds, wild what people can do when they know the job by heart.

@@gadget850 That’s epic, always good to show the old dogs some new tricks
We used to have contests to see who can get them up the fastest.
Also, learn how to set it up solo.
