[[Army|Armies]] all over the world have long used tents as part of their working life. Tents are preferred by the military for their relatively quick setup and take down times, compared to more traditional shelters. One of the world's largest users of tents is the [[U.S. Department of Defense]]. The U.S. DoD has strict rules on tent quality and tent specifications. The most common tent uses for the military are temporary sleeping quarters (barracks); dining facilities (DFACs); field headquarters; morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) facilities; and security checkpoints. One of the most popular military designs currently fielded is the TEMPER Tent, an acronym for Tent Expandable Modular PERsonnel. The [[United States Army]] is beginning to use a more modern tent called the [[deployable rapid assembly shelter]] or DRASH, a collapsible tent with provisions for air conditioning and heating.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.natick.army.mil/about/index.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030429061540/http://www.natick.army.mil/about/index.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 29, 2003 |title=The United States Army |date=2009-10-20 |publisher=Natick.army.mil |access-date=2012-11-23}}</ref>
