The Modular General Purpose Tent System (18’x54′)  is a pole supported, modular tent that incorporates the latest design, and manufacturing technologies that provide the user with a multi purpose weatherproof shelter for any environment. The large MGPTS tent has frequently been used as a disaster relief tent or as an emergency shelter. The MGPTS large utilizes tensioned fabric to create a structure which distributes wind, rain and snow loads from the fabric directly to the support system.

The Modular General Purpose Tent System design distributes loads efficiently with lighter support systems than conventional tents. The MGPTS serves as billeting, command and control, unit supply and field services shelters. The modular design consists of one type end, and intermediate sections, one type side pole and one type center pole.

The tent's system is 18 feet wide and can be extended indefinitely by adding 18-foot intermediate sections. The large MGPTS is 18 feet wide, 54 feet long, and weighs 1,122 lbs.  It has 972-square-feet of floor space.Estimated setup time is roughly 67 minutes, and this tent can easily be assembled by a limited amount of manpower- six people max.
