Budget isn't a big deal, but under $100.

The Holiday Inn, perhaps???????

Found it on eBay for about $60 and it seemed new when I first got it.

For my gear, I just set up a small shelter with my poncho if raining or just outside.

I've always just used a nice sleeping bag and slept in a good place (free of bug nests, elevated) with a mat.

One time on FTX I slept on an ant hill. Wasn't fun getting ants out of my ACUs the next day.

 Gander mountain sells a tent called the "jack rabbit" sets up very fast (less than a minute) and you can buy them online for $100.00 via the website. It's not a back packing tent but you will be able to strap it to your 72 hr gear to get to your camp site before you go out on operations.
Also there is a knock off of the tent made by "first up" that is sold at Kmart for $55.00 comes from the same factory and is just as good.
Ifyou take care of the tent it will be the last tent you need to buy. My unit bought sevral of these for its team and we have had them for 3 years and have had no problem and use them year round in the NE part of the country.
