In my mind if armies 200+ years ago could provide uniforms for their troops while on campaign, why shouldn't units in 2000 be able to employ similar techniques after a period of adjustment?

I agree. Civilians in well-established cantonments would be employed carrying out support tasks for the forces stationed there, including uniform repair and- if facilities are available- basic uniform manufacture.
