I'm not sure if this is the same unit, but here's a link to the PDF of
the TECHNICAL MANUAL, OPERATOR'S, UNIT AND DIRECT SUPPORT MAINTENANCE
MANUAL (INCLUDING REPAIR PARTS AND SPECIAL TOOLS LIST) AIR
CONDITIONER: TRAILER-MOUNTED, GENERATOR-SET-POWERED, 18,000 BTU/HR
(NSN 4120-00-930-5700):

If that's your unit, then it is 18,000 BTU/HR. Another way to
describe this capacity is 1 1/2 tons of air conditioning (a ton being
12,000 BTU). This unit is like 4 of the large 5,000 BTU window units.
I'm not sure if this would be big enough or not for your tent. You
could check Consumer Reports' interactive air conditioning worksheet
at the link below:
Good luck!
