You may be right. Both in Bosnia, and Afghanistan, I saw a number of specialized sea container handling equipments (most US based, but some were European) in use that would not normally be found in field units. There was also a lot of equipment types that would not make it to the first line units or bases with which I had my limited experience. I could check our system to see if these trailers are or were in service, but overall, they played such a small part in the big scheme that I believe their contributions were not widespread. What I could find on the US sites indicated that these trailers sat empty far more than they ever saw use.
All the shelters I have seen in Cdn service were truck mounted. There was no need for trailers of this type in the front line units I worked with. And most specialized shelters that I have seen these days are given the interface of the sea cans, so a PLS would handle them.
