A LATRINE is a public toilet in a military area. It is typically a simple structure with a few stalls and a sink, and is often located outdoors. Latrines are used by soldiers and other personnel in the military to provide a sanitary place to relieve themselves. They are also used by civilians in some areas, such as campgrounds or parks. Latrines are usually equipped with basic amenities such as soap and toilet paper, and may also have a hand-washing station.
