Lodging for a soldier (6)

I believe the answer is:

billet

(Other definitions for billet that I've seen before include "Soldier's lodging" , "Requisitioned accommodation" , "Assign to lodging" , "Chunk of wood - lodging" , "Place for a soldier to stay" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
