When my father was slogging through the mud of Italy in 1944, where they mostly slept on the ground and ate rations, he had leave from the front for a few days and went to visit a friend who was a fighter pilot, stationed at an airbase south of the line. The pilots slept in tents with wooden platforms (not unlike a pallet), ate food in a dining tent on real dishes, which was served to them. He was shocked at the AF privileges.
The USAF did not exist in 1944. His friend was in the Army.
And the Navy slept in heated bunks, and ate in a covered cafeteria.
Infantry = taking ground, mostly by crawling over it.
Air Corps = semi-fixed location as required for the aircraft.
I’m not sure what making those pilots sleep in the mud would have accomplished.
In Iraq war they had air conditioned tents
