guard posts
Manned checkpoint locations
Guard posts are fixed positions where sentries or security personnel are stationed to monitor and control access to an area.
These may be simple designated spots or small structures like booths or towers that provide shelter and visibility.
The soldier reported to his guard post at dawn.
Guard posts are common features at military bases, government buildings, gated communities, and construction sites.
