This knot is used to join two ropes of the same diameter and is one of 16 knots tested during ACC. ACC trains ground combat arms service members in mountain warfare tactics, techniques and procedures to serve effectively as force multipliers to their units during combat operations in complex, compartmentalized, mountainous terrain.
