A Human Factors Survey of Army Tentage

Abstract

A questionnaire designed to identify performance of tentage in the field and to provide evaluation of current tentage with regard to a number of specific factors, such as environmental protection and space, was administered to a panel of 96 respondents. Results of the questionnaire identified three major areas of functional concern: (1) Adequacy of environmental protection; (2) adequacy of space; and (3) ease of erection, striking, and packing. Evaluations of some current tentage with regard to these general areas and the specific factors which contribute to them have been provided, in addition to suggestions and opinions from the panel regarding optimal design, materials, and some proposed innovations.
