field tent

Portable outdoor lodging

A field tent is a portable shelter designed for outdoor use, typically by military forces, researchers, or workers operating in remote locations.

Sturdier and more utilitarian than recreational camping tents, field tents are built to withstand harsh conditions and extended deployment: The medical team set up a field tent near the disaster zone.
