billeting
Lodging military personnel
Billeting is the practice of assigning soldiers to temporary lodging, especially in private homes.
Historically, governments required civilians to house and feed troops: The billeting of redcoats in colonial homes fueled resentment.
The term extends to any organized assignment of temporary quarters: The conference handled billeting for five hundred delegates.
