A billet was an assigned place to sleep on base, usually in a barracks or onboard a ship. The British commonly billeted soldiers in the homes of the colonists.
Off base, they have tents if they even get to stop long enough to sleep. Mostly they just sleep in the open or any cubby hole place they can find, sadly that is usually a trench.
