Picked up a tent from Bragg. The SM-5 is usually 8' x 8', but for some reason I have a 2-door SM-5 16' x 8' in my possession. Is this a hallway or maybe just two stuck together. Maybe it's mislabeled and supposed to be a SM-10?

I will hopefully put it together this weekend and see. Just wanted to see if anyone was familiar with this combo as the internet provides nothing.

Not sure but at the end of the 16X16 light weight frame tens life the military came out with a 8X18 two arch version called a frame hub to help hook them up to the Tempers, Drash, and Base X tents. They also developed an end wall to hook them up to the vestibules/ boot walls of them also. I have never seen either one except in the Shelter Guide .

Did a little searching and found a Hallway/vestibule for
Ebola Infection Control photo03.jpgThat seems to be the right size

Dan you were too fast, I deleted it after I checked the sizes, found what looks like the correct one now posted above.
It is always crap shoot buying tentage from GL . Even if they appear new in the crate, I bought a crated GP Med 20 years ago, took it out to deer camp to un-crate it. Poles were great but the cover was packed with scrap canvass!! Made a great fire.
Here is another pdf tent guide http://nsrdec.natick.army.mil/media/print/JOCOTAS.pdf

Started putting it up and it's a SM-5 8' x 8'. It's brand new though looks like it was only put up once. Has all the vinyl and all the stakes.
