[on] something [...] spread underneath
Разборку и сборку автомата производить на столе или на скамейке, а в полевой обстановке — на какой-нибудь подстилке (шинель, палатка и т. п.).
... on something (a greatcoat, a cloak etc.) spread underneath
David, "палатка" is not really a "tent", it's the so called "плащ-палатка":

Cloaks were individual regulation issue in 1946 and thus always handy; tents (usually accommodating up to 10-man section) went in baggage trains far behind the positions, not really readily available.
Therefore, "cloak" or "cape".
