garrison's

Stationed troops' possession

Garrison's is the possessive form of garrison, a noun referring to troops stationed at a military post or the fortification itself.

The possessive indicates something belonging to or associated with such a military installation: The garrison's commander ordered the gates closed at dusk.

It can also function as a contraction of "garrison is" or "garrison has" in informal contexts, though this usage is far less common than the possessive.
