Found this "T" thing in our m37 and none of us have any idea what it is. Is this possible a M37 thing we should keep?
Thanks!

Looks like you scored big-time with a dual yard pennant hanger!

Looks like a hanger for IV fluid bags.....Lactated Ringers........Saline.....call it what you will. Used in the back of ambulances. Might be an accessory for an M43.

It is for IV bags but I don't think it goes in a M43. I think there is a bottom piece that clamped to a cot so the IV could be hung by the bed of a recovering GI. There is differently a second part that goes with that.
M37s are HMMWV in my world!

I work on the local ambulance. It certainly looks like an IV Pole. However the back of an ambulance is pretty cramped and there really isn't any reason to take up that much space with bags that far apart. You'd keep bumping into the pole. But then again I suppose an IV Pole designed by the Government wouldn't necessarily have to be functional.

I think it is to hold mosquito netting over a cot or bed of some kind.

Wow! Well spotted! Now I know what the silly thing is. Sadly, it looks like you need two for it to actually work. I only have one.
