What could these boxes be used for?

So I had a chat with a coworker that chatted with our vendor that specializes in storage, in person, today.

He starts to spill beans about a government project they won a bid for.

She comes and tells me afterwards, so this is all 3rd hand info - full disclosure.

The vendor was asked to design a “People box” to be used for testing with Special Ops forces at Fort Bragg.

She asked “You mean a coffin?” Vendor laughed and said “No, not quite.”

But then he started describing the requirements of these... boxes.

- They were to hold a human within
- Sizes were made for: Squat, Stand, Laying down
- Tight, restrictive, occupant unable to move head, hands, legs, feet
- No outside air ventilation
- But must include air system to vacate inside air from toxic fumes caused by potential urine, poop, vomit, basically anything the occupant may expel while enclosed for long durations
- No tubes, whole unit must be water resistant for pressure washing
- No holes in sides so occupant cannot press lips to inside and breathe outside air
- To be used for training exercises on-base as a trial, scope of project may expand to many bases

We tried to imagine what they could be used for, she said she asked Vendor and he said he couldn’t talk about it, of course.

So I thought, hey... who else would know more about this than our GLP family?
