Vintage US Army Pup Tent –

The fundamental unit of shelter for the U.S. Army in the field -- since the Civil War -- is the two-man pup tent. Each pup tent is made up of two shelter half pieces that fasten together with a row of buttons (up to late World War II) or snaps along the ridge line and, with poles, ropes and stakes, make up one pup tent. The buttons are matched to a row of button holes. The snaps are two sided. With either system, any pair of shelter half pieces can be fastened together with a watertight closure along the top line. The shelter half is approximately 7' long by 5' wide

Original US Military Pup Tent. The fundamental unit of shelter for the U.S. Military in the field since the Civil War is the two-man pup tent. Soldiers of that time were commonly referred to as dogs. They wore dog tags, slept in tents called dog houses and that term evolved to pup tent.

Two shelter halves snapped together create a pup tent that is approximately 9' long x 6' wide x 42 high.

Each pup tent consists of the following:

  • 2 genuine US military, OD green, 8.25 oz cotton sateen fabric shelter halves with two rows of snaps along the ridge for fastening together

  • 10 metal stakes/pins
