Does anyone have any digital scaled models/ visual representations of standard army equip (LMTVs, gens, DRASH tents, etc) for a to scale sand table?
Hoping something already exists before i dive into the TM for every piece of equipment my company owns and do scaling/measurement math.
If not, I'll be sure to provide the resource on here qhen i complete the project

I've never heard of it being that precise. I've used hotwheels and legos. That seems way too hooah.

Trying to be precise for a purpose. In an MP detention company and we are trying to use to-scale representations of DRASHs, vehicles, etc, to build a mock DHA in an austere environment. Wargaming capabilities and trying to visually see how much space we have to work with or would need, to include c-wire, standoff distance, etc to house up to 100 detainess or 300 US prisoners.

But i agree. If this was for a regular sandtable... way too hooah.

So trying to keep it accurate so you can build as small of an area as possible?

That but also being able to explain any shortfalls with our current MTOE, and have an actual understanding of what it would look like to attempt to set up a facility of that size without any hard structures. One of those tasks that we have conducted in an areas with hard structures for so long, we need to re-establish a solid understanding of what it would even look like and how to even frame that footprint. This is gonna be used more for LPD purposes and developing company SOPs than producing any actual plans.

If interested for whatever reason though, I found that measurements of every piece of rolling stock in the Army in TB 55-46-1.
