Are you outside of garrison, billets, housing and deployed as a unit wherein you have to use either what is available or erect tents etc? That is considered field. Reserves and Guard are sometimes restricted to their duty location and stage a field exercise to simulate, so it would still be a field environment.

For what purpose? It has different definitions depending on what you are asking about.

Field is generally interpreted as where you perform your actual mission. More commonly used when in the training environment in which you train for your mission, the “Woods”.

The field is considered from my point of view is supporting a mission beyond normal day to day operations. I’ve had field ops where I’ve slept on a cot in my mechanics bay for a week and had to Do resupply missions. It can be as close as home or a state away.

But since your active look at the field like this. If you can’t drink,fuck,or go to the barracks to rest and repeat...Then your in the field.

If Training NCO do their schedules right and this normally the case, if Uniform has “TA-50” or what today’s issue is, I’d think you’ve got you an answer.
