These are designed for use with the STABO Extraction Harness. The Bridle measures roughly 40 inches from D-ring to snap hook and are marked "US". Constructed using the correct materials and all original Vietnam dated hardware. These were carried on the individual and were rolled up and taped or secured to the pistol belt.

History
The bridle is made of nylon webbing with a V-shape design. A D-ring is located on the single end of the bridle body and a snap hook is secured to each of the two bridle running ends. During use, the D-ring is connected to a suspension rope snap hook while the two bridle snap hooks are attached to the two STABO harness lift V-rings. The suspension rope is designed to connect on one end to an anchoring device installed in a helicopter while the opposite end is attached to the bridle D-ring. The helicopter hovers over the pickup area at altitudes up to 150 feet above the ground. After ensuring the applicable end of the extraction system suspension rope is connected to the anchoring device installed in the aircraft, a member of the aircraft crew drops the extraction system deployment bag from the left side door of the aircraft. A maximum of three extraction system units may be connected and dropped simultaneously, which will allow the extraction of three individuals on one flight. As the deployment bag descends, the suspension rope deploys until the bag reaches the ground. The individual to be extracted then attaches the two bridle snap hooks to the lift V-rings on his harness and after assuring the leg straps are connected and tight, notifies the aircraft by radio or hand signals that lift-off may begin. The helicopter then lifts the individual(s) from the area and, with the retrieved personnel suspended beneath the aircraft, moves to an area where a safe landing can be made.
