First find an old bottle or something and some ball soft ball kick ball something and set it up about 15 feet away so that will b about the arrow so at least you will still be acurate.  And try to stay in bowling shape im guessing where your being deployed that they have weights so strenghten your legs and wrists.

If there is one thing that I can say positively about my "destination" is that they do have a great gym set up.

- never be afraid to tear your game down and start over from scratch.

You can practice a good release by throwing a football underhanded in a tight spiral.  Progress to doing the same thing, but only holding the ball with your fingertips.

The swing - free armswing, accuracy (as Oskuposer mentioned), and follow through - can be practiced with something as simple as a softball or a horseshoe (Walter Ray Williams is a champion horseshoe competitor).

Footwork, timing, and position can be practiced in dry socks on a waxed tile floor.

Strengthening the legs is always beneficial to bowling, you really can't go wrong there.  Be careful not to build too much upper-body bulk as it can impede the free armswing.

The other crucial elements of a good fundamental game do not require any special devices.  For practice in keeping my head still during a free-armed motion, I find golf, darts, and billiards to be excellent avenues of practice.  Juggling is wonderful for hand-eye coordination (so important to hitting a target) and dancing or rock-climbing does wonders for balance which is crucial at the line in bowling.

Good luck and thank you.

i admire the soldiers bravery and courage and i wish them the best luck in the world but wat im saying is that if we werent in this stupid war they wouldnt have to die

You'll find a soccer ball there, either place, and just use it as a bowling ball...HINT: only in "cleared" areas...trust me, been there.done that.

Another word...keep your a@s higher than your head..a@ses heal faster than heads...trust me , again.

Keep 'em clean....keep 'em loaded.
Good Luck
