When I was in the Army, I had a ‘Field Computer.’ It came on its own trailer that I could haul behind a jeep and was the size of a small VW Bug!

Between that and my Mimeograph Machine (still LOVE the smell of that blue goop!) I saved y’all from Communism in the 1980’s.

You’re Welcome! :)

The Marine Corps talked of deploying a field Sys/36 as I recall.

Reserve unit I worked got an IBM 4300 DOS/VSE.
