Combat-Proven, Field-Tested Military Tents
Alaska Defense transformed the Quonset-hut concept and — using high-quality, lightweight, and modern materials — created the world’s most popular military shelter system. Alaska Defense has supplied tens of thousands of high-grade military tents and military camps to the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Special Operations Command, as well as other U.S. Military branches, NATO Forces, and Allied Forces around the world.
Alaska Military Shelters were instrumental in housing troops and supporting mission objectives for Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). Combined, both theaters saw the successful deployment of more than 10,000 Alaska Small Shelters — the only military shelter tested and determined to meet all the requirements for the U.S. Air Force’s 1999 Operational Requirements Document (ORD).
The Alaska Small Shelter System® is the official U.S. Air Force Small Shelter System and established the billeting shelter standard for all USAF BEAR packages, including the U.S. Special Operations Command’s Joint Bare Base Program. It established Alaska Defense as the prime vendor in Afghanistan for the U.S. Army Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP IV).
