The heavy-lift helicopter CH-54 Tarhe, created in 1962, was designed for transporting large military cargo. To enhance its transport capabilities, a special container was developed, which functioned as a transport capsule, allowing the transport of infantry, the wounded, or equipment. The containers were equipped with windows, doors, and a ramp at the rear, enabling the loading of military equipment, such as guns or light all-terrain vehicles. They could also be used for parachute deployment of soldiers. On the ground, if necessary, these universal containers could be towed on a trailer by military vehicles. A total of 22 containers were built, each with its own unique military registration number.
