Army posts are military installations that provide a base of operations for soldiers and their families. Forts (5 letters) are large, permanent military bases that are usually located in strategic locations, such as near a coast or border. GARRISONS (9 letters) are smaller, more mobile military bases that are used to support troops in the field. Both forts and GARRISONS are important components of the army's infrastructure and provide essential services to soldiers and their families.
