In the military rank feature it says the soldier can "requisition simple equipment or a horse for temporary use". What qualifies as simple equipment, any simple weapon or something less complex than a catapult?
Additionally, which part of the sentence is the "for temporary use referring to, the simple equipment and the horse or just the simple equipment?

This is going to be up to the DM, but if you are the DM asking what you should do, I would suggest that "temporary use" means "for as long as you need to complete a concrete objective task".
The temporary use is referring to both the horses and the equipment. You have quote the exact text wrongly, leading to the confusion:
As a DM, I would require players to pay for any consumable or lost/damaged items.
The simple equipment, is referring to items found on the equipment list in chapter 5, and the listed weapons and armor.
