Doctrine was to burn feces with diesel oil when I went through Basic. We filled up an outhouse at what I called C.O.B. Kitty and we talked about needing to burn it out. Romulans ran that base and we always hoped they waited to burn it until we left on mission.
I do not have any idea what they did about sewage at F.O.B. Lagman, where I was assigned for most of my deployment, but they kept a fire going in the garbage pit.
Our main base was Kandahar Airfield. You can read about the poo pond there. They had incinerators near the main gate. I do not know which was worse, garbage smoke or gaseous feces.
