What it is Filled
A semi-permanent facility for lodging an army, which may also support training and other military activities; historical and modern examples fall within this sense when they serve that lodging function, while temporary field camps, permanent bases and military colonies are related categories rather than automatically included; the model describes military camps historically and at a public reference level without operational detail and distinguishes them from internment and prisoner-of-war camps.
