57. This is new (Post Cold War, 1990s new) expandable tent.

Looks like replacement for the old GP Medium Tent, still in wide spread use in the Army and National Guard. The new "Temper" Tents are in 16 feet by 16 feet units, that can be attached to each other. They also have aluminum frame, thus 100% usable interior space. The old GP medium as held up by two wooden (later, post 1960s aluminium) posts. The posts in the GP Mediums were in the middle of the tent, thus took up interior space. Both tents would be good tents for the purpose of being a place for small groups of people to meet.
