billeted
Assigned military lodging
Billeted is the past tense of billet, meaning to assign lodging to military personnel in civilian quarters or temporary accommodations: Soldiers were billeted in farmhouses throughout the village.
The word implies official assignment rather than voluntary arrangement—troops are billeted where authorities place them, often in private homes during wartime or exercises.
