Authentic Military Grade Gear
Diamond Brand Gear produces the most authentic military grade tents on the market. It’s a bold claim, but one backed up by our long history of contract work with the U.S. military that spans more than 100 years. We are honored to continue our military tent contract work to this day with our production of a two man military combat tent for the USMC.
Military History: The World Wars
In the 1940s, Diamond Brand jumped into the war effort alongside the rest of the country, supplying top-notch canvas products from our military combat tents and packs to stretchers and canvas wall tents that were used as field hospitals. By the end of the war, Diamond Brand had completed 144 different government contracts.
Military History: The Gulf Wars
Our military grade, four-man tent known as the Soldier Crew Tent went into production in 1989. With the onset of the Perisan Gulf war in 1991, we were contracted by the U.S. government to produce this new military tent design for Army tank crews. By the end of the war, our workers had manufactured over 8,000 of these military combat tents. This solidified Diamond Brand’s place as a significant contractor for the U.S. military.
“Portability, reliability and durability have always been the guideposts for our products made for war and peace.”

The Combat II: Made for Survival & Hunting
Designed for those who choose to take their adventures to the next level. The elements won’t stand a chance against the tent that sets the gold standard for military-grade performance.
Military-Grade Materials
The materials used in our military camping tents have been chosen by our team and vetted by our military partners to provide certainty and reliability in places where none is given. Our military tents are durable enough to take you places that push your comfort zone, not your equipment.
Fabric
The body of our Combat II tent is composed of military grade 70 D nylon uncoated ripstop for breathability, fire retardant flooring, and military-grade no-see-um mesh doors complete with a 70 denier coated 2nd layer door. The included repair kit will keep you covered in the event that you run into serious damage. Fabric is Berry Amendment compliant.
Poles
Our military combat tent utilizes DAC press-fit tent poles built with Military Grade Anodized Aluminum. These poles are treated to be durable, corrosion-resistant, and as lightweight as possible, without compromising integrity. “Pressfit” poles are still the most rugged and reliable poles made in the world today.

Four Season Strength
This military-inspired tent design is specifically made for a four season shelter and is directly influenced by the USMC. It has been tested by the toughest of the tough, providing ultimate coverage through the colder months. For those seeking to ride things out in adverse weather conditions, a heavy water-resistant coating is applied to keep you dry–snow and rain don’t stand a chance. The dome shape of this military camping tent is ideal for weathering situations of high winds and altitude while holding two people comfortably with plenty of overhead room. Solo campers will enjoy plenty of extra space for gear.
Adaptability
The reversible, camo-to-tan military grade fly allows for discretion in multiple environments, maximizing privacy with its blackout capabilities. The fly also creates roomy vestibules to help maximize space. At under 9 lb. trail weight, our military combat tent is easy to pack and easy to assemble in under 5 minutes, but can be converted to a fast pitch hooch when you need only the bare essentials.

Beyond Production
Our long history of manufacturing military tents has not only been a boon for us, but also for the local economy, allowing us to hire local workers who had suffered from major layoffs and plant closings the year before–including veterans. One such veteran of the Vietnam war was able to translate his experience abroad into some remarkable experiences in the U.S., aided by our camping gear.
