Unfortunately that was no protection against Brit squaddies. In BAOR (British Army of the Rhine) we were parked up with a load of these waiting to go exercise. Our sergeant major went and had word with his counter part in the US unit and told him that these ratchets needed to be secured as his lot would pinch the lot of them. Next morning our SM ordered a complete search of our wagons and kit. The haul was impressive, keys to several truck, lots of those ratchets but not all of them, US ration packs, tool kits and lots of other bits. When the loot (that was found) was handed back to the US sergeant major our SM said it was lucky they were a US unit, if they had been a Brit unit probably only a 10th of what went missing would have been handed back.
I call it “military monotone.” Then, when you wake up, the A.I.T. instructor chews your ass out for falling asleep in class. “Make sure the cold water hose goes to the cold inlet and the hot water hose goes to the hot water inlet.” “If you are missing a screw driver, just use a P38.”
Notice how easy they make it look? I wonder how it was assembled out in the field on “unlevel” ground. Also notice the “old man” helping put it together. If this were an actual unit, out in the field, that old man would be in meetings, while the younger soldiers assemble the unit.
@C W The real question is if this flick (1972) came out at the same time as the MUST. Judging from a quick scan of the other comments, no-one saw any of these things before "the early 70s".
While testing the next level of M.U.S.T. At Fort Hood Texas in Summer 1978 my pharmacy was inside one of these units. Rather than going for delicate shelving they decided on aluminum chests waterproofing and damage proofing the medications. Those water, power air-conditioning connections came from a device called a U-pack basically a small jet engine to heat water to provide 400 and 60 Hz power, air compression to inflate the inflatable building. Solid structures were made by a honeycomb material Lite and strong. BTW I met Gary Burghoff, he was doing dinner theater in San Antonio. I asked him if he would be interested in looking at the new type of M.A.S.H. He was absolutely not interested in knowing anything about current military combat medicine kind of a sour short person to talk to. The funniest thing I saw was an India, Indian looking at American procedures. He was noticing an IV being set up which included a three-way stop cock. Coming from an overcrowded country. He asked is this a new American birth control device?
It’s amazing how much they crammed into that box! It went from an unassuming trailer to a decently sized field command post, aid station, squad barracks, or whatever the US Army needed that day in Vietnam! Edit: I wish I had a few to make a quick semi-permanent campsite.
When I was in Desert Storm one of my jobs as an Infantry Medical transport operator with the 1st ID 3/34 Armor was transporting injured Soldiers to a MASH unit, and the med. tents where inflatables and air conditioned they where not like the old tents like you saw in the TV show MASH, they where full blown HOS. units with state of the art Med. equipment very impressive I thought. I don't believe I saw any of the M.U.S.T. shelters, by then they may have had already fazed them out, but have to mention that the US Army tends to reuse a lot of equipment as we where still using quite a bit of Vietnam era equipment, they didn't tell us but the frag vests we where issued where defiantly Vietnam era, and maybe even recycled, the one I wore I could have sworn had blood stain, but I was told it was just grease or oil or something, still was not convinced, at least we where issued the "K" pots as opposed to the steal pot, we did though have steal pots when I was in Basic, the K pots are much better. and those are my thoughts.
They need to be using some sort of trailer instead of the inflatables depending on what you're doing. Little to no set up and tear down time compared to the inflatables and could be used while in movement which is impossible with a inflatable shelter. Been there done that with old Army equipment but we had it easy compared to the Soviets.
_I saw a 'temporary' quonset hut from WWII still up on Fort Benning in '01. As I said about my temporary barracks structure: Designed to last five years Wears out after five months Still in use in fifty years.
Inflatables in desert Storm?....I was a kid during desert Storm and was active 4id starting 99 and never saw an inflatable.....just the typical G.P. medium and large and the 577/113 tent set ups plus some hard shell truck type rigs similar to these
@@jayyyzeee6409 This was the 1970s. It was nuclear attacks they had in mind, radiation travels in the wind, so being airtight was the least they could do.
The name stands for Medical Unit Self Transportable. Only the last few seconds actually gives you an idea what the actual structure was. These little boxes aren't the "shelters" they are connections and entrances. The actual usable space looks like a quonset hut only it's made of soft material and it's inflated. The hut's ridges are wider than the metalic type, about a foot, and consist of long pockets in which are bladders which are inflated. When the bladders are inflated the hospital room gets its support. Unlike previous inflated structures the interior isn't pressurized, only the bladders. If some are damaged the others still support the structure. The bladders provide a thick insulted wall which helps insulate the interior in desert heat or arctic cold. The boxes we saw in the video can be used to interconnect several units for the size needs of the situation. A multi-ward hospital can be set up in the field in minutes. These were the MASH tents on steroids.
If they are still in a warehouse somewhere they are all probably rotted out and covered in rust, mold, and asbestos. Plus I dont think they make those power and water lines anymore.
I remember setting up this equipment while assigned to Fort Devans MA 46th Combat Support Hospital 1978-81 as MOS 91-D (Operating Room Specialist). GOOD EXPERIENCE & GOOD FOLKS TO WORK WITH.
In the mid 1970’s and 80’s the USAF would connect four of these together with their inflatable roofs. They would then house TACC’s and DASC’s. About four hours and twenty airmen (60 Army) to complete the assembly. Then two deuce and a half’s would bring ginormous camouflage bundles that required two more hours of hanging. Upon completion , ground power would connect two-8 turbine generators in series to provide communications power. You could here these jet turbines two miles away. Then, like a sick IKEA project, tear down would be the reverse of assembly. And yes, icy cold and tropical heat made assembly completely worthwhile . Naturally, all this came with a check list for assuring correct assembly. Don’t think the ruskies could spot these in actual conflict!
Been there. Done that. Got the tee shirt. Deployed to Hungary in 95/96 in support of Bosnia. When I first got there we had a lot of GP medium tents and these little beauties. Radar, Comm, and ATC. We thought these were the greatest things. I think the Army ended up missing a few, LOL!
at the end of the video it had shown a inflatable M.U.S.T. attached to the solid M.U.S.T. structure. I never herd any mention of fuel in the video, so not sure where that came from?.
Simply amazing! The amount of effort that goes into designing all these components, and then building, training, and maintaining everything. The US is truly prepared for everything. Does anyone have knowledge/ footage of our modern equivalent?
Isn't that something. Done all by hand,no power tools, basic hydraulics, no computers, basic wiring, and good old steel hardware. It's like something out of a Fallout game
Me too.......I would put it next to my grandma house and live there......my grandma pass away and there no one in that house and I am scare living alone in a big house.......
Our hospital was all fraim tents in Desert Storm. I don't remember running water in those tents. They did have AC. We still lived in a general purpose large.
What is a 400 cycle power cable? Seen a lot of stuff in industry, never heard of 400 cycles. Went to 120 cycles with a motor once and thought it might explode. Must be some top secret American Military stuff.
Lol but they build bridges and bunkers and tunnels. I bet they had a pit crew of guys trying to put these together in 3 minutes. This is done slow for training.
They probably bought dozens of them. If I were you I would keep an eye on line for auctions of surplus equipment where one in complete form might turn up.
I'm sure you could find everything you need to upgrade,replace hardware at your local home and hardware stores.or maybe Army/Navy surplus store.So many ways to convert this into Tiny house,Camping. I'm already thinking about putting it on a car trailer for camping.
Just like IKEA furniture, some assembly required.
@Evil Mofo Capitalism says otherwise
This comment made me so happy:) light hearted jokes are a scarcity
@Evil Mofo Just like the Boeing 737NG and the Max 8, the pinnacle of Aeronautical Engineering. And what's going on with our cars? 😂
I like how all the ratchets are secured with cables so pvts dont lose all of them.
