Operational Environment. The Combat Tent, with rain fly, designed to be operable in conditions from 0 to 120 degrees F as found in the mountains and desert. The tent  provides for ventilation for use in desert/arid environments and designed to minimize internal buildup of condensation. The shelter is able to withstand steady 40 mph winds with gusts to 50 mph. It  provides protection from driving rain, sand, dust and blowing snow. When subjected to wind driven rain at a maximum of 20 mph and rain falling at the rate of 2 inches per hour.  Comfort being degraded is defined as rain droplets hanging on the inside of the tent and dripping in to form puddles. The Combat Shelter provides protection from flying and crawling insects and provide sufficient head room for donning and doffing clothing. Additionally, the Combat Tent with rain fly prevents the escape of light  and  provides protection against visual and infrared  detection The capability for independent use of the rain fly will allow for Marines to tailor their environmental protection needs and reduce weight as required.
