Malibu, California, USA.
The book happened BEFORE the movie, and the author of that book, Richard Hooker, was, basically, Hawkeye.
Plus, even when I do become a doctor, I am not going near the military... if a draft begins... I won't check my mail...
US Military Canvas General Purpose Tent to hold the party in. They aren't cheap! The tents changed little up through the 80s. You can not use the newer synthetic fabric military tents IF you want to be accurate.
Costumes should consist of ODs of the 50s and 60s. NO Camouflage BDUs (Battle Duty Uniform). You could get away with using the Viet Nam era solid OD Fatigues if availability is a problem of the 50s and 60s uniforms. Look at the cast's costumes closely. Of course T-shirts with 4077 MASH printed on them. You'll need wooden ammo crates to make tables and used for seating. Medical equipment such as stethoscopes, surgical gowns in med. green and masks. Throw in a couple of people with Hawaiian shirts to go with their OD pants. Of course EVERYONE must have black combat boots and the occasional 'cowboy boot'ed person is OK. As far as sounds, well the sound of the early Bell helicopters in the background is good (NO Blackhawk chopper sounds...totally different sound). And someone occasionally making announcements over a PA could help with atmosphere. It won't be cheap to get some of the stuff. And if you really want to go 'native'. Get a couple Wyllis Jeeps to be parked near the tent and a couple 'crackerbox' ambulances would help a lot. Look to invite some military vehicle collectors to the party.
