Base camp and expeditionary shelter solutions are at the core of any successful mission. Depending on the scale of the camp, number of personnel deployed, or location--there are a variety of military shelters available built to provide complete coverage.

A bad, under-equipped shelter or base camp set up can have lasting effects on operations and morale. Great shelters must be durable, yet relocatable. Straightforward, yet multi-purposed. High-quality, yet easily constructed and rapidly deployed. And importantly, they must meet the electrical and physical necessities of the mission.

What Are Military Shelters Used For?

With a great structure as its base, relocatable shelters can be transformed into a number of configurations, including:

• Berthing/Living Facilities
• Medical Facilities – including full turnkey hospitals
• Kitchen or Dining Facilities
• Laboratories, Offices, Training Centers
• Data Control or Command Centers
• Hygiene Centers (Latrine, Shower, Laundry)

Survival

Sometimes, a good shelter in the field means the difference between a good night’s sleep and a serious medical condition. When based in areas with extreme weather patterns or temperatures, it's crucial to have a relocatable shelter that can withstand the worst.
