I need some help identifying the frame the command post sits on…
I’ve found the trailer frame and command list is easily separated by removing the 4 corner bolts and raising the box off the trailer ..

The trailer can be pulled from under the box…

The trailer is made by Saginaw, has military rear lights and 12 pin light connector

The trailer has hydraulic pulse brakes.. ie actuated when the Lunette ring compresses during vehicle deceleration …

I can not find any reference for the trailer, the nose wheel jack screws up and down and pivots 90 degrees up and stowed like a 1/4 ton trailer leg, only it rotates to the left not rearward…

Any help in referencing the basic trailer assembly
