Entrance Way Assembly. The entrance way wall (Figure 5,
Item 1) is
constructed similar to
the plain
wall except that there are no quick release female fasteners located along the inside top. Additionally, this
wall incorporates a 36-inch wide covered entrance way. Inner blackout doors cover the entrance way
opening in the wall. A 1-inch wide pile fastener strip is sewn along its top edge. A 1-inch wide hook
fastener strip is located along the top of the entrance way wall opening. Left and right blackout door
assemblies are sewn to the outer seams of the entrance way wall opening. Both have two pole holders
located on the outside approximately 35 inches apart, and three buckle assemblies with quick disconnect
female fasteners on the inside. A grommet is located on each upper and lower corner of the left and right
blackout door assemblies. A male quick disconnect fastener is located on the front center of the entrance
way roof. An identification label is sewn on the inside of the wall. The covered entrance way allows for
entry into and exit from the tent, enhances ventilation and helps maintain light discipline. One entrance
way wall is issued with each MCPS.
