Which container is commonly used for installation storage?

• A. QUADCON
• B. TRICON
• C. MILVAN
• D. CONEX

Answer: (D)

On military installations, you want a durable, secure, and readily available on-site storage solution. The CONEX box fits this role best. It’s a standard, weatherproof, lockable container that comes in common lengths (20 and 40 feet) and can be stacked or moved with standard equipment. Because CONEX units have been a base staple for decades, they’re widely available, easy to deploy, and reliably protect equipment, tools, and supplies while the installation operates. Other container types exist for different logistics needs—MILVANs are general ISO containers used for shipping and storage, TRICONs are larger modular assemblies made from three containers, and QUADCONs combine four containers for bigger space—but for everyday installation storage, CONEX boxes are the most common choice.
