The MGPTS tent is a pole supported modular structure. The MGPTS tent is issued in four sizes: small, command
post, medium and large. The MGPTS can also be complexed in various combinations of length and to other types of
equipment.
SITE REQUIREMENTS
NOTE
These instructions are based on the medium MGPTS. For other tent sizes, the number of mid sections
and poles will differ. Make modifications as required.
Select an area to erect the tent. Ensure the area will be large enough for the tent and guy ropes that will be erected
(see Table 1). The area should be clear of trees, rocks and debris. Choose a relatively flat area; the ground should
not vary by more than 6 inches. A trench should be dug around the perimeter of the tent about 2 feet away from the
edge. A drainage ditch should also be dug for water to exit the perimeter trench.
Table 1. Area Setup Requirements.

Small 34 ft 34 ft 12 ft
Command post 43 ft 34 ft 12 ft
Medium 52 ft 34 ft 12 ft

ASSEMBLY TENT SYSTEM
Layout fabric sections
1. Identify each fabric section required. For the medium MGPTS, you will need two end sections and one mid
section.
WARNING
Fabric sections are heavy. Always lift with your legs not your back. Failure to observe this warning
may result in back injury.
2. Transport each required fabric section into area where tent will be erected.
3. Unfold each mid section (1) and end section (2) so that the inside (white side) is down and the green or tan side
is up. Place these sections in center area where tent is to be setup.
NOTE
The mid section (1) has lace and grommets on both ends. The end sections (2) have lace and
grommets on one end.
