cantonments
Soldiers' living areas
Cantonments are military quarters or encampments, particularly permanent or semi-permanent installations where troops are housed.
The term carries colonial overtones, especially associated with British military stations in India and other parts of the former empire: The regiment was stationed at the cantonment outside Delhi.
A cantonment typically included barracks, officers' quarters, and support facilities set apart from civilian areas.
