An integrated multi-purpose deployment field system enables a user to build a plurality of field pieces of equipment for field use in recreation, rescue, medicine, military operations, disaster relief and non-motorized cargo hauling. The system includes assembling the field equipment from a plurality of interchangeable T-shaped load support components. Each load support component has a generally horizontal load support member which is configured to support a particular type of load in the field, and a generally vertically extending support strut which extends from a midsection of the horizontal load support member. A load support attachment, such as a wheel axle or a cross brace, engages with each horizontal load support member, and joins the horizontal support members so that the T-shaped load support components, vertical struts, and load support attachments form a load bearing structure when assembled.

The invention claimed is: 1. An integrated multi-purpose deployment field system enabling a user to build a plurality of field pieces of equipment for field use in recreation, rescue, medicine, military operations, disaster relief and non-motorized cargo hauling, comprising: at least one assembly of a plurality of rapid movement, rapid set up readily transportable modules capable of being hand carried to a remote location on rough terrain, each said transportable module including at least one set of transformable interchangeable field assembleable structural components comprising at least one bin releasably engageable with and removably attached to a modular load support frame carrier capable of being assembled and disassembled, said frame carrier having a pair of load supporting rails, each pair of load supporting rails having at least one releasable rail engaging clamp, said bin being mounted to said rails and a portion thereof extending beneath said rails; each said rail releasable clamp engageable along user-selected positions along a substantial portion of each said load supporting rail with at least one of at least a pair of vertically extending struts, said rail releasable clamp mounted on an upper end of each vertically extending strut adapted to removably attach to and support side rails of said modular load support frame carrier; said vertically extending struts accommodating wheel supporting axles and wheels or, upon removal of said struts and wheels, said struts and wheels replaceable with at least a pair of table support stanchions, said structural components further having at least one support for a medical accessory, said set of transformable interchangeable field assembleable structural components alternately forming with accessories each one of: a) at least one hand carried cargo supply bin cart; b) at least one collapsible wheeled stretcher carrier; c) at least one multipurpose utility table for treatment and movement of patients; d) at least one stationary multipurpose utility table for treatment of patients; e) at least one surgical table having medical/surgical accessories attached thereto; And, f) at least one cargo hauling cart that transforms into a medicine supply cabinet upon pivoting. 2. The multi-purpose deployment field system of claim 1 in which said clamp is a pair of jaws having a recess therebetween engaging said carrier. 3. The multi purpose field deployment system of claim 2 in which said carrier is a stretcher whereby said stretcher is readily replaceable on said cart with another carrier having side rails. 4. The multi purpose field deployment system of claim 2 in which said carrier is a rescue basket whereby said basket is readily replaceable on said cart with another carrier having side rails. 5. The multi purpose field deployment system of claim 2 in which said carrier comprises a chair stand. 6. The multi purpose field deployment system of claim 2 in which said carrier is a covered bin. 7. The multi purpose field deployment system of claim 2 having a second set of wheels mounted on a second axle with a second pair of vertically extending members supported on said second axle, upper ends of said second pair of vertically extending members attached on upper ends thereof to said clamps. 8. The multi purpose field deployment system of claim 7 in which said second set of wheels overlaps said pair of spaced of wheels. 9. The multi purpose field deployment system as in claim 1 wherein said cart has a first pair of spaced wheels mounted on opposite ends of a first axle and a vertically extending strut mounted on a bottom thereof to each of said first axle adjacent each of said first pair of spaced wheels wherein the improvement comprises: a second pair of spaced wheels mounted on opposite ends of a second axle, said second axle spaced from said first axle; a vertically extending strut mounted on a bottom thereof to each of said axles adjacent each of said second set of spaced wheels; and a pair of horizontally extending trusses each attached to an upper end of each vertically extending member adapted to support a carrier. 10. The multi purpose field deployment system of claim 9 having a kick stand extending from one end of said cart and slidable through said struts, said kick stand being part of a handle for pulling said cart. 11. The multi purpose field deployment system of claim 9 in which said carrier includes an oxygen concentrator for filling oxygen tanks. 12. The multi-purpose field deployment system of claim 1 in which said rail engaging clamp includes a body having an upper stretcher rail engaging recess and a lower stretcher rail engaging recess to raise or lower the respective head pr feet of a medical patient in a Trendelenburg maneuver position. 13. The multi-purpose field deployment system of claim 1 in which said rail engaging clamp includes a means to tilt an object supported by said rail clamp relative to a respective position of said clamp upon said rail. 14. An integrated multi-purpose deployment field system enabling a user to build a plurality of field pieces of equipment for field use in recreation, rescue, medicine, military operations, disaster relief and non-motorized cargo hauling, comprising: at least one assembly of a plurality of rapid movement, rapid set up readily transportable modules capable of being hand carried to a remote location on rough terrain, each said transportable module including at least one set of interchangeable field assembleable structural components comprising at least one bin releasably engageable with and removably attached to a modular load support frame carrier capable of being assembled and disassembled, said frame carrier having a pair of load supporting rails, each pair of load supporting rails having at least one releasable rail engaging clamp, each said rail releasable clamp engageable along user-selected positions along a substantial portion of each said load supporting rail with at least one of at least a pair of vertically extending struts, said rail releasable clamp mounted on an upper end of each vertically extending strut adapted to removably attach to and support side rails of said modular load support frame carrier; said vertically extending struts accommodating wheel supporting axles and wheels or, upon removal of said struts and wheels, said struts and wheels replaceable with at least a pair of table support stanchions, said structural components further having at least one support for a medical accessory; said set of interchangeable field assembleable structural components alternately forming at least one of: a) at least one hand carried cargo supply bin cart; b) at least one collapsible wheeled stretcher carrier; and, c) at least one multipurpose utility table for treatment and movement of patients; said cart having a first pair of spaced wheels mounted on opposite ends of a first axle and a vertically extending strut mounted on a bottom thereof to each of said first axle adjacent each of said first pair of spaced wheels; a second pair of spaced wheels mounted on opposite ends of a second axle, said second axle spaced from said first axle; a vertically extending strut mounted on a bottom thereof to each of said axles adjacent each of said second set of spaced wheels; a pair of horizontally extending trusses each attached to an upper end of each vertically extending member adapted to support a carrier; and a top surface of each horizontally extending truss having an integral T-slot channel formed therein for receiving an attachment member. 15.
