The Military Load Classification (MLC) is a system of standards used by NATO and the United States Department of Defense to classify the safe amount of load a surface can withstand. Load-carrying capacity are shown in whole numbers for vehicles, bridges, roads, and routes. Vehicles are classified by weight, type, and effect on routes. Bridges, roads, and routes are classified by physical characteristics, type and flow of traffic, effects of weather, and other special conditions.
