Abstract
The portable structure will generally have a pod from which a suite frame and suite may be deployed. The suite will allow personnel to administer to many critical demands and activities. The portable structure may be deployed upon any terrain, whether level or uneven, rigid or soft, and both the pod and the suite may be leveled independently. Additionally, the portable structure may incorporate at least one cocoon section wherein the cocoon section comprises at least one interior layer contacting a mesh covering placed over the suite frame, at least one thermal layer affixed to the interior layer, wherein the thermal layer includes heat adding and heat removal members capable of removing or adding heat to the mesh covering or a substance adjacent the at least one thermal layer and at least one exterior layer affixed to the thermal layer.

A portable structure comprising:
- a. a pod;
- b. a suite frame, wherein at least a portion of said suite frame is engaged with said pod, and wherein said suite frame comprises:
- i. a first and second ground rail, wherein said first and second ground rails are substantially parallel with one another when deployed;
- ii. an upright, wherein said upright comprises:
- 1. a first and second vertical rail section, wherein said first vertical rail section is engaged with said first ground rail at a first end of said first ground rail, wherein said first end of said first vertical rail section is formed with a first slideable member for engagement with said first ground rail, wherein said second vertical rail section is engaged with said second ground rail at a first end of said second ground rail, wherein said first end of said second vertical rail section is formed with a second slideable member for engagement with said second ground rail, and wherein said first and second slideable members are further defined as first and second vertical rail rollers;
- 2. an arch support, wherein a first end of said arch support is engaged with a second end of said first vertical rail section, and wherein a second end of said arch support is engaged with a second end of said second vertical rail section, wherein said upright may traverse the length of said first and second ground rails via the cooperative engagement between said vertical rail rollers of said first and second vertical rail sections;
- iii. a vertical cable affixed to said arch support;
- iv. a plurality of outside floor supports affixed to said vertical rail sections, wherein each said outside floor support comprises;
- 1. a floor support sleeve, wherein said floor support sleeve encompasses a portion of the exterior of said first vertical rail member;
- 2. a floor support clamp, wherein said floor support clamp is pivotally affixed to said floor support sleeve, and wherein a portion of said floor support clamp engages said first vertical rail member;
- 3. a floor support arm, wherein a first end of said floor support arm is engaged with said floor support clamp;
- and
- 4. a floor support platform, wherein said floor support platform is engaged with a second end of said floor support arm
- v. at least one inside floor support affixed to said at least one vertical cable.
