tent barracks
Military fabric housing
Tent barracks are temporary military housing structures—large tents serving as barracks for troops.
They typically appear during wartime mobilization, training exercises, or deployments where permanent buildings aren't available: Recruits spent their first weeks in tent barracks before moving to proper quarters.
The term emphasizes the provisional nature of the accommodation.
