on’t try to stay warm in your tent with a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
heater. Unvented commercial kerosene heaters put out dangerous gases and are
a serious health hazard.
There are no COTS heaters
that meet the Army’s require-
ments for field environments. To
stay warm—and alive—use one
of these tent heaters:
H-45 medium space heater,
NSN 4520-01-329-3451, which
replaces the old potbelly M41
in GP series tents.
Arctic space heater, NSN
4520-01-444 -2375, which re-
places the M1950 Yukon heater, for 5-man and 10-man arctic tents.
The self-powered fan, NSN 4140-01-457-2790, can be used on either heater.
The fan uses some of the heat from the heaters to turn the fan blades, which
circulate heated air, improve comfort and save fuel.
