I doubt there are any plans to install more permanent facilities. And if you think it sucks to use a porta-john in the U.S., try sitting in one that has been out in the triple-digit heat all day!

There are some better facilities on the adjacent camp, where most of the "permanent party" are stationed. We're basically in overflow tents that would otherwise be occupied by units on their way out.

So not only do we have worse housing and facilities, and live about a kilometer away from where we work, but we get to watch all the people going home! Of course, it's a far cry from where we were a few months ago (and where a lot of GI's still are), so I can't complain too much.
