TM 10-8340-205-13&P a. Stack screens. The rear section of the tent is 3 feet higher than the front section. This allows adequate exhausting of hot air from field ranges, during operation, through the stack screens (1 and 2). b. Stack flaps. Small ventilation flaps (3, 4, and 5) are used for ventilation of the tent when in the open position. The flaps may be lowered to dose the openings when a blackout condition is being observed or to keep dust, rain, and snow from inside the tent. c. Small ventilator screens. Located in the front wall of the service section, the ventilator screen (6), remains open when the tent is dosed for a blackout condition to provide a draft for proper ventilation of the interior. d. Wall (awnings), front. The front and side walls (7 and 8) can be guyed out to form awnings for additional ventilation during hot weather conditions. e. Wall screen. The wall screen (9) snaps to the tent body and provides an insect proof enclosure when the walls are raised to form awnings. f. Screen and serving window. The serving window screen (10) can be opened and rolled up so that food can transferred from a serving table to individual servings. g. Slide fasteners. The walls are equipped with eight slide fasteners (11), but when the screen wall is in place, the slide fastener near the service window provides the only entrance to the tent. SECTION II.
