General Discussion

You sleep wherever you can if you’re on the move or only going to be somewhere a short or unpredictable amount of time. It’s also less security risk in this scenario to keep everyone and all your equipment together in a secure location, they don’t want to be sending troops and military vehicles to stay at unsecure area hotels while there is unrest going on.

And if you have a night op you nap if you can during the day wherever you are staging at.

For big training operations or deployments planned months or even years in advance they would sometimes rent out entire motels for us but on something like this there’s no time to do that and also again for logistical and security reasons you wouldn’t want your troops and vehicles spread out at random hotels that may have had some availability on short notice and have them spread out across a city with unrest going on.
