Humvee Crew Extraction D-ring, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center at Redstone Arsenal, AL. Combat locks on the up-armored Humvee often get so damaged the doors can’t be opened when under fire – or under water. The D-ring provides solid anchor points for the hooks of a tow strap, chain or cable to pull open damaged doors. Or other innovative options like the 10th Mountain Division’s “Rat Claw.” The project was handled by a Fast Assistance in Sciences Team (FAST) that deploys to help Soldiers solve problems that can be resolved within 6 months.
