The bottled water is for, obviously, soldiers while out on missions - 1 and 2 qt canteens just don't cut it, so they keep cases of bottled water in the backs of all the humvee's and other vehicles.
The baby wipes are for those missions that last quite some time (my longest one was 4 days out), and you don't really have time for a shower. Gaulding/chaffing is one of the worst enemies of an infantryman, that and jungle rot. Both slow you down - we can't have that.
