The Large Clevis is commonly used to create which type of anchor point in field expedient operations?

• A. Rigging a hoist line
• B. Field expedient apex
• C. Temporary tether for personnel
• D. Load-distributing sling

Answer: (B)

The key idea is forming a solid anchor point for a rope system, specifically the top or apex where all lines converge. A large clevis provides a single, strong, centralized point that you can clip or thread rope through, making it an effective field expedient apex anchor. It’s designed to handle the combined load of the system and to stay put when other parts of the rig may move, which is essential for safe hoisting, belaying, or rescue setups in the field. The other options describe different uses that don’t establish the main top anchor point for a rope system.
