Genuine US Army & USMC Transport Box | Pelican 1780 Protector Case | Desert Tan | 114x65x41 cm | NOS
Description
When U.S. armed forces deploy sensitive weapon systems, communications gear, or tactical loadouts into harsh combat theaters, they rely on Pelican Products, Inc. The Pelican 1780 Protector Transport Case is one of the largest, toughest mobile deployment footlockers in the U.S. military inventory. While the Desert Tan finish is iconic to the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC), this exact model (NSN: 8145-01-521-9713) is a joint-service staple issued extensively across the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, and USSOCOM units (Green Berets, US Navy SEALs, 75th Ranger Regiment) throughout the GWOT era.
Engineered with a unique 50/50 split design, the deep lid and base have nearly identical depths—allowing the opened case to function as a dual-compartment field locker or to accept military rifle divider racks.
