Garrison
Military post name
A garrison is a body of troops stationed at a military post, or the fortified place itself where soldiers are based: The garrison held out for three months.
To garrison a location is to station troops there for defense.
The word suggests permanence rather than active campaign—soldiers waiting rather than fighting.
