A typical Arctic Army-issued tent was usually used by four or five soldiers. Poorly suited for Vietnam’s extreme high temperatures, the tents sides were rolled up to allow some cooling. The tent was where Army Spc. Four Donald Ward Evans, Jr. bunked. He was the first medic in Vietnam to receive the Medal of Honor posthumously. Evans Army Community Hospital on Fort Carson, Colorado, was named in his honor in 1986 and pays tribute to his memory by achieving high-quality patient safety awards and recognitions.
