Bought from an auction for storage along with a work shop also in the process of removing wiring along with some military Panels and Gauges that were Specific to the Navy NavAir Meteorology and aviation these were recalibration set ups for Radios and Equipment they were delivered new to the Navy in 1992 in Norfolk VA and were than shipped here to North Carolina to be DRMO Surplus and then made it to the Marines at MALS 26 then were DRMO Surplus to a Local Law enforcement agency where they used both for storage

Both Are Wired the Worst of he two has a leak im currently trying to find and fix ***Still working on this****
I know these Milvans are Currently still used by the military so i havent been able to find any info **Any Help I would be ecstatic very Greatful and along with any info****

****Update**** 12/07/2025
Finished Removing all Wiring for Power outlets and the 28 Volt testing Going to be upgrading power outlets and Lighting For Parts Storage

*****Update****12/11/2025
Did Some Research and Found the NSN Contract Numbers and a nice Printout For numbers of these Basic Mobile Facilities (MF) and 91 was only awarded 200 since 1984 and 1989 was the only other low number Production For these Basic MF (60HZ/400Hz Milvan Connex Boxes)
Also seen the Life Expectancy or Service Life was 15 years and Here its 2025/2026 and they are still around serving a different purpose
