army installation

Troops' home station

An army installation is a military base or facility operated by an army, encompassing everything from training grounds and barracks to weapons depots and command centers.

The term emphasizes the physical infrastructure: Fort Bragg is one of the largest army installations in the United States.

Installation suggests permanence—a place where military operations are established and maintained.
