Abstract
A cargo securement system for securing cargo in a container includes a number of extendable upper and extendable lower braces. The extendable upper braces mount to an upper portion of the framework of a module and extend to engage the container. The extendable lower braces extend from the floor system of the module and engage the walls of the container to apply a force that secures the module in place.
