The Third Amendment
"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."
The Third Amendment of the United States Constitution was created to protect individuals and their property from the practice of quartering soldiers. The Founding Fathers wrote this amendment to prevent soldiers to be quartered in private property as it was practiced under the British military during the American Revolution. Also, it prohibited the government from using private property as quarters for troops without the consent of the owner. There was only one case that was in violation of the Third Amendment and it was the Englom v. Carey case.

This amendment is to keep soldiers to be on your property without your consent. But unless during war time or something, you can allow soldier to be on your property. I don't think the military will need to be on your property since they are so technological advanced nowadays.
