officers' quarters
Military leadership lodging
Officers' quarters are living accommodations designated for military officers, separate from enlisted personnel housing.
The possessive form indicates quarters belonging to officers as a class: The officers' quarters overlooked the parade ground.
On military bases and ships, this segregation reflects rank distinctions.
The term sometimes appears in historical contexts describing colonial or garrison life.
