For tonight yeah but -- only right we didn't see each other.

-- I would assume -- saves money I don't know if it saves lives but tell us about it.

It's typical.

And it's funny everyone's all abuzz about the father in a box -- -- and Bob stands for forward operating base.

And why this isn't part is because clearly Afghanistan and Iraq we Arnie have the infrastructure there we've got the base is -- the forward operating bases but.

Are -- nations -- -- looking towards the horizon and thinking what's next how -- best place to rapidly deploy for future operations.

What makes sense is bring the -- in a box if you can.

Several lines of an all abuzz about this boxing concept can we get a base in a box in the -- -- They made a lot of progress and -- supply internationalism are really fantastic job I think -- the leading the pack in this respect.

And terms of providing just -- sort of capability.

I think -- got to have some images that our viewers can check out I don't know my award James -- this week.

And it's really fantastic and it's it's not as straightforward as an entire base in a box -- are looking at a that these super cool is it a case of just add water and -- -- base brings but.

Little bit more complex than that the military uses the term box -- -- is a container and we all recognize that is a little -- yeah.

-- -- technical that this is this ended as brass -- basics it's -- watch in and it based salon tree.

Kitchen and -- you know the kind of basic essentials that you know I you I do you get that under this.

Yet in his eyes and now -- his war -- -- will -- -- -- hopefully not but we might need to often say they're very rudimentary infrastructures airports nonexistent.

And so it's really fantastic and I -- for example the laundry in a box and generally is one container on the inside super slinky.

It's got all the bells and whistles you'd want for -- lunge there and I really can't say I.

It's got that kind of classic minimalist style is Scandinavian design that a policy with -- To complete with a bug zapper and even though washing machines and automatics -- dispensers so they -- -- and three -- try to make it is useful and -- for the soldiers as possible in the closing about savers have little laundry in a box is it to you soldiers -- actually -- this fully functioning on there in that can it.

Supports the laundry needs and -- -- soldiers within two hours -- -- mark those of you arrive on say -- really determined to get your clothes laying.

And then you -- you would be so that the airline for leaving in there for twelve hours.

I -- -- this isn't.

But that's really great example another you know is so great because there's -- -- crossover applications for this for humanitarian aid disaster relief -- -- -- discuss and analyze the awful disaster -- -- going on -- Howland knew and lots of military technology to be really usefully applied in these areas and the rioting -- at -- aside from the stylish design.

They've really what sets this company apart I believe is they've really thought -- -- of -- -- implicit threats and a war -- and Paris -- -- all those nasty Terry Taylor got there this parasite says viruses there's microorganisms.

It is American he's our area isn't.

It's -- and underlying threat that our forces facing.
