Militaries in various countries already use simple canvas tents when in the field. I don’t see how switching to a similar-looking yurt setup would be an improvement.

Many militaries, including the US, use rectangular tents. Yurts are round. The entire point is the shape difference potentially being better for wind. This is why chatgpt is going to take over..

I don’t know the first thing about the US army, but several others have this figured out already. I’m Swedish and our tents have been round for … well I don’t know how long.

Are you proud you are ignorant about the miliatry operations of the world's most active military for the last 50+ years? You never saw a movie with a huge rectangular shape and thought "hey, that's different than ours here in Sweden? Let me jot that down, not everyone is like Sweden" ?
