It was extremely important that the Roman army build a camp properly because of security and also a proper camp was an efficient camp. A camp was only used on the march and most times the Roman army was marching into enemy territory. A proper camp with its ditch and stockade afforded protection against surprise night attacks. Also, every man knew where he was supposed to be in a camp that followed regulations. He knew where his tent was and the army slave knew where to unload the contubernium mule who carried the tent and food. Set up and take down ran efficiently and smoothly in a properly built marching camp.

Is the Roman legion the same as the Roman army?

No, not quite. A Roman legion is a part of a Roman army. However at certain times and under certain conditions a "legion" could be considered the actual army. For example, if there was a need for a river crossing, a legion would be sent in to build a bridge and it would be said that the "army" built the bridge. It's all a matter of words. Generally, though, an army consisted of several legions under one commander.
