GARRISON
:''For other uses of Garrison, see Garrison (disambiguation).''
'Garrison' (various spellings) (from the French ''garnison'', itself from the verb ''garnir'', "to equip") is the collective term for a body of troops stationed in a particular location, originally to guard it, but now often simply using it as a home base. The station is usually a city, town, fort, castle or similar. For example, the 1st Battalion, 1st Infantry (U.S.) is garrisoned at West Point. 'Garrison town' is a common expression for any town that has a military barrack.
In the modern British Army, ''garrison'' also specifically refers to any of the major military stations such as Aldershot, Catterick, Colchester, Tidworth, Warminster and London, which have more than one barracks or camp and their own military headquarters, usually commanded by a Colonel, Brigadier or Major-General, assisted by a Garrison Sergeant Major. In Ireland soccer has historically been termed the "garrison game" due to its connections with British military serving in Ireland.[1]
In Israel, a 'garrison unit' (Hebrew: חיל מצב; ''cheil matzav'') is a regular unit defending a specified zone such as a city, a province, a castle or fortress, or even a single building.
