Love y’all, but this isn’t news.
This happens literally everytime a unit goes literally anywhere.
Weekend exercise your commander put together last week? Sleep on the ground.
Month long training exercise you’ve been planning for a year? Sleep on the ground.
Deployment to a foreign country for nine months? You guessed it! Sleep on the ground.
They didn’t even deploy with cots? The only time I slept on the floor was when I had to keep the mobile server room secured.
Or at least bedrolls?
