1-15. OPERATION OF THE FSCT.
The Five Soldier Crew Tent (FSCT) is easily erected by one or two soldiers. The tent body assembly is laid out
first. The legs of the frame are then inserted into the hub and extended. The frame is positioned over the tent
and the center of the tent roof is attached to the frame. The legs of the frame are secured to the tent corners,
then the eaves and sides of the tent are attached to the frame. The sides of the tent are staked down. If
desired, the tent fly is installed over the pitched tent and frame, providing an extra layer of weather and
camouflage protection. The liner may be installed in Type II tents as necessary.
