We have just got our hands on two 7’ x 9’ tents for the next season and would appreciate any background info on them and their use.
On is marked as a Tent, Company Command Post 7’x9’ and dated 1977 and the other is just marked Command Post 7 x 9 and dated 1987
They are ridge tents with four poles that fit into paired sleeves at each end and are 9’ wide across the door and 7’ deep to the back wall. Height is about 6’ to the ridge.
My first question is did anyone ever use them as a Command Post? They seem a bit cramped as there is only just room to stand up directly under the ridge so I can’t see there being enough room for any command kit, ops table etc especially if a 9x9 were available!
Also there are two guy ropes attached to each side – does anyone know if these are run out at 90 degrees to the tent or if they run at an angle fore and aft?
Any info on their use or any background would be appreciated.
