Not to mess in your nuts or anything, but the last time I was flying at The Rock, I seem to recall your assault strip (LZ) was 3,500' IAW the training regs. I have landed on a 3,050' strip in the mighty Herk, but that was an operational mission...OCONUS.

A 300' random shallow? How do you stay 500' away from structures as you cross the runway?

And to clarify for Ray, we plan to touchdown in the first 500' of the landing zone and be stopped by the end of the runway/assault strip.

Now who's ever landed on a 46' wide highway before in a C-130??

Alright, you got me, we do 'em at 500', except in combat, then all bets are off. I think techinically the zone is 3500', man you got me there too, good thing there are guys who like to play gotcha on this site:)

and oh yeah, Vol 3 states 3000' feet for Assault landings
