Soldiers' temporary lodgings (6)

I believe the answer is:

billet

(Other definitions for billet that I've seen before include "Requisitioned accommodation" , "Chunk of wood - lodging" , "Post" , "Lodgings for troops or evacuees" , "accommodation for the men" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
