gunbunnyB/3/75FA Posted October 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2015 hi folks, i have a issue that perhaps some of our former bluesuiters could answer, which is what color were the storage containers painted, my buddy say they were camo but i think that they were mostly od green, thanks in advance, for any help on this, (a steak dinner at texas roadhouse is in the balance on this). ( mods , feel free to move this if i put it in the wrong place, thanks) --J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFMike Posted November 5, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 5, 2015 Ubiquitous CONEX contaner-used, reused, and modified for every use one could possibly imagine, including living quarters, offices, you name it. We had one we used as a jail for miscreant CIDG. Others buried for use as bunkers. Endless other uses. Basic color was OD green, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted November 14, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 14, 2015 To add to SFMike's qoute Another use in a combat environment when used as bunkers was as Tactical Operations Centers or TOCs as they were commonly called, also Artillery Fire Direction Centers or FDCs as they were commonly called. In example, in March 1971 Fire Support Base Mary Ann of the Americal Division used CONEX's. Those not familiar with this debacle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_FSB_Mary_Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted November 20, 2015 Share #6 Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks for posting that link Patches. Great read. Sappers in shorts with soot camouflage can do a lot of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
